50 Nicodemus (B)(he who came to [a]Jesus [b]by night, being one of them) said to them, 51 (C)“Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?”

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]
