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].

53 And they turned again, each into his house.

But Jesus went into the mount of Olives.

45 Then the officers went to the high priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why have you not brought him? 46 The officers answered, Never did any man speak as this man does. 47 Then the Pharisees answered them, Are you also deceived? 48 Do any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believe on him? 49 But the common people, who do not know the law, are cursed.

50 Nicodemus (he who had come to Jesus by night, and was one of them) said to them, 51 Does our law judge any man before it hears him and knows what he has done? 52 They answered and said to him, Are you also of Galilee? Search and look, for no prophet arises out of Galilee.

53 And every man went to his own house.

A woman is caught in adultery. Christ delivers her. The freedom of those who follow Christ. They accuse him of having the devil with him, and go about to stone him.

And Jesus went to the Mount of Olives,

45 [a]Then came the officers to the high Priests and Pharisees, and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?

46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.

47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?

48 [b]Doth any of the rulers, or of the Pharisees believe in him?

49 But this people, which know not the Law, are cursed,

50 Nicodemus said unto them, ((A)he that came to Jesus by night, and was one of them.)

51 Doth our Law judge a man before it hear him, (B)and know [c]what he hath done?

52 They answered, and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no Prophet.

53 [d]And every man went unto his own house.

3 The woman taken in adultery, 11 hath her sins forgiven her. 12 Christ the light of the world. 19 The Pharisees ask where his Father is. 39 The sons of Abraham. 42 The sons of God, 44 The devil the father of lying. 56 Abraham saw Christ’s day.

And Jesus went unto the mount of Olives,
