John 7:48-53

48 Have any of the rulers believed in Him? Or any of the Pharisees?
49 But this crowd, which doesn't know the law, is accursed!"
50 Nicodemus-the one who came to Him previously, being one of them-said to them,
51 "Our law doesn't judge a man before it hears from him and knows what he's doing, does it?"
52 "You aren't from Galilee too, are you?" they replied. "Investigate and you will see that no prophet arises from Galilee."[a] [
53 So each one went to his house.
