John 7:40-53 - Different Opinions About Jesus
40 Many from the multitude therefore, when they heard the saying, said, This is truly the prophet. 41 Others said, This is the Christ. Others said, For does the Christ come out of Galilee? 42 Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was? 43 So there became a division among the multitude because of him. 44 And some of them wanted to taken him, but no man laid hands on him.
45 The subordinates therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees. And those men said to them, Why did ye not bring him?
46 The subordinates answered, A man never so spoke like this man.
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, Have ye not also been led astray? 48 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees? 49 But this multitude that does not know the law are accursed.
50 Nicodemus says to them (he who came to him by night, being one of them), 51 Does our law judge a man, unless it first may hear from himself and know what he does?
52 They answered and said to him, Are thou also from Galilee? Search and see, that out of Galilee arises no prophet.
53 And each man went to his house.
