John 7:40-53 - Different Opinions About Jesus
40 Then those hearing these words from the multitude, were saying, This is truly the prophet; 41 others were saying, He is the Christ; others were saying, For whether does Christ come out of Galilee? 42 Did not the Scripture say, that Christ comes from the seed of David and from the village of Bethlehem, where David was? 43 Then there was a schism in the crowd on account of Him: 44 and some of them wished to arrest Him; but no one laid hands on Him.
45 Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, Why did you not bring Him?
46 The officers responded, Never did a man so speak, as this man speaks.
47 And the Pharisees responded to them; Are ye also deceived? 48 Whether has any one of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on Him? 49 But this crowd knowing not the law are accursed.
50 Nicodemus being one of them, says to them; 51 Whether does our law judge a man, until it may first hear from him and know what he does?
52 They responded and said to him, Whither art thou also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet rises out of Galilee.
