John 7:41-52
New King James Version
John 7:41-52
New King James Version
41 Others said, “This is (A)the Christ.”
But some said, “Will the Christ come out of Galilee? 42 (B)Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, (C)where David was?” 43 So (D)there was a division among the people because of Him. 44 Now (E)some of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
Rejected by the Authorities
45 Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why have you not brought Him?”
46 The officers answered, (F)“No man ever spoke like this Man!”
47 Then the Pharisees answered them, “Are you also deceived? 48 Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in Him? 49 But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed.”
50 Nicodemus (G)(he who came to [a]Jesus [b]by night, being one of them) said to them, 51 (H)“Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?”
52 They answered and said to him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and look, for (I)no prophet [c]has arisen out of Galilee.”

John 7:41-52
New International Version
John 7:41-52
New International Version
41 Others said, “He is the Messiah.”
Still others asked, “How can the Messiah come from Galilee?(A) 42 Does not Scripture say that the Messiah will come from David’s descendants(B) and from Bethlehem,(C) the town where David lived?” 43 Thus the people were divided(D) because of Jesus. 44 Some wanted to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.(E)
Unbelief of the Jewish Leaders
45 Finally the temple guards went back to the chief priests and the Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring him in?”
46 “No one ever spoke the way this man does,”(F) the guards replied.
47 “You mean he has deceived you also?”(G) the Pharisees retorted. 48 “Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?(H) 49 No! But this mob that knows nothing of the law—there is a curse on them.”
50 Nicodemus,(I) who had gone to Jesus earlier and who was one of their own number, asked, 51 “Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing?”
52 They replied, “Are you from Galilee, too? Look into it, and you will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee.”(J)
