A.T. Robertson Commentary John 7:47

"The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also led astray?" — John 7:47 (ASV)

Are ye also led astray? (Μη κα υμεις πεπλανησθε; ). The Pharisees took the lead in this scornful sneer at the officers. The use of μη formally expects a negative answer as in 4:29, but the Pharisees really believed it. See also 6:67. The verb form is perfect passive indicative of πλαναω, for which see verse 12 with perhaps an allusion to that phase of opinion.
