John 7:40-53

40Some of the peopleG3793 thereforeG3767, after they heardG191 theseG3778 wordsG3056, were sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 trulyG230 is 1the ProphetG4396.” 41OthersG243 were sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 is the 2ChristG5547.” But othersG3588 were sayingG3004, “3SurelyG1063 G3361 the 4ChristG5547 is not comingG2064 from GalileeG1056, is He? 42Has the ScriptureG1124 not saidG3004 that the ChristG5547 comesG2064 from 5the descendantsG4690 of DavidG1160, and from BethlehemG965, the villageG2968 whereG3699 DavidG1160 was?” 43SoG3767 6a dissensionG4978 occurredG1096 in the crowdG3793 becauseG1223 of Him. 44And 7someG5100 of them wantedG2309 to arrestG4084 Him, but noG3762 oneG3762 laidG1911 handsG5495 on Him.

45The 8officersG5257 thenG3767 cameG2064 to the chiefG749 priestsG749 and PhariseesG5330, and they saidG3004 to them, “WhyG1223 G5101 did you not bringG71 Him?” 46The 9officersG5257 answeredG611, “10NeverG3763 has a manG444 spokenG2980 inG3779 thisG3779 wayG3779!” 47The PhariseesG5330 thenG3767 repliedG611 to them, “11You have not been ledG4105 astrayG4105 tooG2532, have you? 48 12Not oneG5100 of 13the rulersG758 orG2228 PhariseesG5330 has believedG4100 in Him, has he? 49But thisG3778 crowdG3793 that does not knowG1097 the LawG3551 is accursedG1884!” 50 14NicodemusG3530 (the one who cameG2064 to Him beforeG4387, beingG1510 oneG1520 of them) saidG3004 to them, 51“15Our LawG3551 does not judgeG2919 the personG444 unlessG1437 G3361 it firstG4413 hearsG191 from him and knowsG1097 whatG5101 he is doingG4160, does it?” 52They answeredG611 and saidG3004 to him, “16You are not from GalileeG1056 asG2532 wellG2532, are you? ExamineG2038 the Scriptures, and seeG3708 that noG3756 prophetG4396 arisesG1453 out of GalileeG1056.” 53[[17And everyoneG1538 wentG4198 to his homeG3624.
