45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said unto them, “Why have ye not brought him?”

46 The officers answered, “Never did man speak like this man!”

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

48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?

49 But this people, who knoweth not the law, are cursed.”

50 Nicodemus said unto them (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them),

51 “Doth our law judge any man before it hear him and know what he doeth?”

52 They answered and said unto him, “Art thou also from Galilee? Search and look, for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.”

53 And every man went unto his own house.

Jesus went unto the Mount of Olives.

45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why did ye not bring him? 46 The officers answered, Never man so spake. 47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also led astray? 48 Hath any of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees? 49 But this multitude that knoweth not the law are accursed. 50 Nicodemus saith unto them (he that came to him before, being one of them), 51 Doth our law judge a man, except it first hear from himself and know what he doeth? 52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and [a]see that out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

53 [b][And they went every man unto his own house: but Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
