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]
