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.”

John 7:45-8:1
International Standard Version
The Unbelief of the Authorities
45 Then the officers returned to the high priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”
46 The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like that!”
47 Then the Pharisees replied to them, “You haven’t been deceived, too, have you? 48 None of the authorities or Pharisees has believed in him, have they? 49 But this mob that does not know the Law—they’re under a curse!”
50 One of their own, Nicodemus (the man who had previously met with Jesus),[a] asked them, 51 “Surely our Law does not condemn[b] a person without first hearing from him and finding out what he is doing, does it?”
52 They answered him, “You aren’t from Galilee, too, are you? Search and see that no prophet comes from Galilee.” 53 Then all of them went to their own homes.
The Woman Caught in Adultery
8 Jesus, however, went to the Mount of Olives.
