45 When the temple guards returned, the chief priests and Pharisees asked them, |Why didn't you bring Jesus?| 46 The temple guards answered, |No human has ever spoken like this man.| 47 The Pharisees asked the temple guards, |Have you been deceived too? 48 Has any ruler or any Pharisee believed in him? 49 This crowd is cursed because it doesn't know Moses' Teachings.| 50 One of those Pharisees was Nicodemus, who had previously visited Jesus. Nicodemus asked them, 51 |Do Moses' Teachings enable us to judge a person without first hearing that person's side of the story? We can't judge a person without finding out what that person has done.| 52 They asked Nicodemus, |Are you saying this because you're from Galilee? Study [the Scriptures], and you'll see that no prophet comes from Galilee.| 53 Then each of them went home. John 7:45-53, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
