John 7:45-8:1
World English Bible
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”
46 The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you? 48 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees? 49 But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”
50 Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them, 51 “Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”
52 They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”
53 Everyone went to his own house, 8 1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

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]
