John 7:42-52

42 Whether the scripture saith not, that of the seed of David, and of the castle of Bethlehem, where David was, Christ cometh?
43 Therefore dissension was made among the people for him. [And so dissension is made in the company for him.]
44 And some of them would have taken him, but no man set hands on him.
45 Therefore the ministers came to the bishops and Pharisees, and they said to them, Why brought ye not him?
46 The ministers answered, Never man spake so, as this man speaketh.
47 Therefore the Pharisees answered to them, Whether ye be deceived also?
48 whether any of the princes or of the Pharisees believed in him?
49 But this people, that knoweth not the law, be cursed.
50 Nicodemus saith to them, he that came to him by night, that was one of them,
51 Whether our law deemeth a man, but it have first heard of him [no but first it hear of him], and know what he doeth?
52 They answered, and said to him, Whether thou art a man of Galilee also [Whether and thou art a man of Galilee]? Seek thou scriptures, and see thou, that a prophet riseth not of Galilee [for a prophet riseth not of Galilee].
