John 7:45-53

English Standard Version

^45 (A)The officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why did you not bring him?” ⁴⁶ The officers answered, ^(B)“No one ever spoke like this man!” ⁴⁷ The Pharisees answered them, ^(C)“Have you also been deceived? ^48 (D)Have any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in him? ⁴⁹ But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed.” ^50 (E)Nicodemus, who had gone to him before, and who was one of them, said to them, ^51 (F)“Does our law judge a man without first ^(G)giving him a hearing and learning what he does?” ⁵² They replied, ^(H)“Are you from Galilee too? Search and see that ^(I)no prophet arises from Galilee.”
