John 7:44-53

44SomeG5100 ofG1537 themG846 wantedG2309 to seizeG4084 HimG846, butG235 no oneG3762 laidG1911 a handG5495 onG1909 HimG846.

45ThenG3767 theG3588 officersG5257 returnedG2064 toG4314 theG3588 chief priestsG749 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, who askedG2036 themG846, “WhyG1223G5101 didn’t you bringG3756G71 Him inG846?”

46“Never hasG3763 anyoneG444 spokenG2980 likeG5613 thisG3778 manG444!” theG3588 officersG5257 answeredG611.

47“Have youG4771 alsoG3361G2532 been deceivedG4105?” repliedG611 theG3588 PhariseesG5330. 48“HaveG3361 anyG5100 ofG1537 theG3588 rulersG758 orG2228 PhariseesG5330 believedG4100 inG1519 HimG846? 49ButG235 thisG3778 crowdG3793 thatG3588 does not knowG3361G1097 theG3588 lawG3551—they areG1510 under a curseG1944.”

50NicodemusG3530, whoG3588 had goneG2064 toG4314 Jesus earlierG4386 and who himself wasG1510 oneG1520 ofG1537 themG846, askedG3004, 51“Does ourG1473 lawG3551 convictG3361G2919 a manG444 withoutG1437G3361 firstG4412 hearingG191 fromG3844 himG846 to determineG1097 whatG5101 he has doneG4160?”

52“Aren’tG1510G3361 youG4771 alsoG2532 fromG1537 GalileeG1056?” they repliedG611G2532G2036G846. “Look into itG2045, andG2532 you will seeG2400 thatG3754 noG3756 prophetG4396 comesG1453 out ofG1537 GalileeG1056.”1

53ThenG2532 eachG1538 wentG4198 toG1519 his ownG846 homeG3624.
