⁴⁵ Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees. And they said to them, Why have you not brought him?

⁴⁶ The officers answered, Never did any man speak as does this Man.

⁴⁷ Then the Pharisees answered them, Also, have you not been deceived? ⁴⁸ Is it not true that not any of the rulers or of the Pharisees have believed into him? ⁴⁹ But this crowd, not knowing the Law, is cursed.

⁵⁰ Nicodemus said to them, (he who came to Jesus by night, being one of them), ⁵¹ Does our law judge the Man before it hears Him and knows what He does?

⁵² They answered and said to him, Are you also from Galilee? Search the scriptures and see that a prophet has not been raised out of Galilee.

⁵³ And they each went to his own house.

¹ But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
