John 7:48

Verse 48 of 53. The 7th of 21 chapters in John, in The Gospels.

44Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

45The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”

46The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

47The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?

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

49But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”

50Nicodemus (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?”

52They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”
