John 7:45-8:1
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.”

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)
