John 7:45-52 ▼

45 The officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, |Why did you not bring Him?|

46 The officers answered, |Never has a man spoken the way this man speaks.|

47 The Pharisees then answered them, |You have not also been led astray, have you?

48 |No one of the rulers or Pharisees has believed in Him, has he?

49 |But this crowd which does not know the Law is accursed.|

50 Nicodemus (he who came to Him before, being one of them) said to them,

51 |Our Law does not judge a man unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing, does it?|

52 They answered him, |You are not also from Galilee, are you? Search, and see that no prophet arises out of Galilee.|
