John 7:45-John 8:1 - Debate Over Jesus' Claims

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

46 The officers answered, A man never spoke thus.

47 The Pharisees answered them, Are you also deceived? 48 Has any one of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees? 49 But this multitude which know not the law are accursed.

50 Nicodemus, he that came to him, being one of them, said to them, 51 Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him and knows what he does?

52 They answered and said to him, Are you also from Galilee? search and see; for no prophet is raised up from Galilee.

53 [An early interpolation, but probably true]. And every man went to his own house;

1 and Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
