John 7:48-53

48 {None} of the rulers or of the Pharisees have believed in him, [have they]?

49 But this crowd who does not know the law is accursed!"

50 Nicodemus, the one who came to him previously--who was one of them--said to them,

51 "Our law does not condemn a man unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing, [does it]?"

52 They answered and said to him, "You are not also from Galilee, [are you]? Investigate and see that a prophet does not arise from Galilee!" [[

53 And each one went to his [own] house.
