John 7:47-52

47Then the Pharisees said to them, “Have you also been deluded and swept off your feet?

48Has any of the rulers or Pharisees believed in Him?

49But this [ignorant, contemptible] crowd that does not know the Law is accursed and doomed!”

50Nicodemus (the one who came to Jesus before and was one of them) asked,

51“Does our Law convict someone without first giving him a hearing and finding out what he is [accused of] doing?”

52They responded, “Are you also from Galilee? Search [and read the Scriptures], and see [for yourself] that no prophet comes from Galilee!”
