Debate over Jesus’s Claims
45 Then the servants(A) came to the chief priests(B) and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”
46 The servants answered, “No man ever spoke like this!” [a](C)
47 Then the Pharisees responded to them, “Are you fooled(D) too? 48 Have any of the rulers(E) or Pharisees believed in him? 49 But this crowd, which doesn’t know the law, is accursed.”
50 Nicodemus(F)—the one who came to him previously and who was one of them—said to them, 51 “Our law doesn’t judge a man before it hears from him and knows what he’s doing, does it?” (G)
52 “You aren’t from Galilee(H) too, are you?” they replied. “Investigate and you will see that no prophet arises from Galilee.”(I)
[The earliest mss do not include 7:53–8:11.]
[53 Then each one went to his house.[b] 8 1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.(J)

Lexham English Bible
45 So the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees. And they said to them, “Why[a] did you not bring him?” 46 The officers replied, “Never has a man spoken like this!” 47 Then the Pharisees replied to them, “You have not also been deceived, have you?[b] 48 None[c] of the rulers or of the Pharisees have believed in him, have they?[d] 49 But this crowd who does not know the law is accursed!”
50 Nicodemus, the one who came to him previously—who was one of them—said to them, 51 “Our law does not condemn a man unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing, does it?”[e] 52 They answered and said to him, “You are not also from Galilee, are you?[f] Investigate and see that a prophet does not arise from Galilee!” [[53 And each one went to his own house.[g]
