{Some of the Pharisees} (	ines t(936e) Pharisai(936e)). Luke
seems to imply by "from the multitude" (apo tou ochlou) that
these Pharisees were in the procession, perhaps half-hearted
followers of the mob. But  Joh 12:19  speaks of Pharisees who
stood off from the procession and blamed each other for their
failure and the triumph of Jesus. These may represent the bolder
spirits of their same group who dared to demand of Jesus that he
rebuke his disciples.
