John 7:45-52

45Then the guards returned to the ruling kohanim and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring Him?”

46“Never has anyone spoken like this man,” the guards answered.

47The Pharisees responded, “You haven’t been led astray also, have you?

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

49No, but this mob that doesn’t know the Torah—they are cursed!”

50Nicodemus, the one who had come to Yeshua before and was one of them, said to them,

51“Our Torah doesn’t judge a man unless it first hears from him and knows what he’s doing, does it?”

52They answered him, “You aren’t from the Galilee too, are you? Search, and see that no prophet comes out of the Galilee!”
