Nicodemus.
Joseph of Arimathaea.
It means : a Pharisee and member of the Sanhedrin who became a secret follower of Jesus.
Nicodemus
Saul of Tarsus, later renamed Paul, was a member of the Pharisees, one of three groups almost akin to political parties in the USA. The Sanhedrin were a council of 71 leaders, including the high priest. The council was made up of both Pharisees and Saducees, and probably some Essenes; these form the three groups mentioned above. Acts 23:6 has Paul, arrested and on trial before the Sanhedrin, admitting that he is a Pharisee and the son of a Pharisee. The Bible doesn't explicitly say that he had been a member of the Sanhedrin, although his familiarity with the council shown in the same passage, along with the term "Brothers" used in 23:1-6, may imply that he had been a member. See the Related Links "ChristianAnswers: Sanhedrin," "ChristianAnswers: Pharisee," and "ChristianAnswers: Paul" to the right for more information.
There isn't any verifiable proof that Paul was a Pharisee. The only evidence is found in the Bible, the New Testament to be exact.

the answer is deruyisk a pharisee.
The Sanhedrin was an assembly of 23 judges in each of the cities of Israel. The nearest thing is the qualifications of a Pharisee, which Paul listed in Philippians 3: 4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
A Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin who became a believer after meeting with Jesus in secret one night. He joined Joseph of Arimathea in asking Pilate for Jesus' body after the crucifixion.
To be honest, I think it was more of a case of 'Why Did The Pharisee's Not get on with Jesus?' Or is it the same thing?
He mentioned 'Pharisee' three times in the gospels when he spoke.
Nicodemus was a Pharisee. While not a disciple, the Apostle Paul was also once a Pharisee.
