John 7:45-52

45 ¹The officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why did you not bring him?"

46 The officers answered, ²"No one ever spoke like this man!"

47 The Pharisees answered them, ³"Have you also been deceived?

48 ⁴Have any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in him?

49 But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed."

50 ⁵Nicodemus, who had gone to him before, and who was one of them, said to them,

51 ⁶"Does our law judge a man without first ⁷giving him a hearing and learning what he does?"

52 They replied, ⁸"Are you from Galilee too? Search and see that ⁹no prophet arises from Galilee."
