John 7:40-52

John 7:40-52 CSB

When some from the crowd heard these words, they said, “This truly is the Prophet.”  Others said, “This is the Messiah.” But some said, “Surely the Messiah doesn’t come from Galilee, does he? Doesn’t the Scripture  say that the Messiah comes from David’s  offspring  and from the town of Bethlehem,  where David lived? ” So the crowd was divided  because of him. Some of them wanted to seize him,  but no one laid hands on him. Then the servants  came to the chief priests  and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring him? ” The servants answered, “No man ever spoke like this! ”  , Then the Pharisees responded to them, “Are you fooled  too? Have any of the rulers  or Pharisees believed in him? But this crowd, which doesn’t know the law, is accursed.” Nicodemus   #— #the one who came to him previously and who was one of them #— #said to them, “Our law doesn’t judge a man before it hears from him and knows what he’s doing, does it? ”  “You aren’t from Galilee  too, are you? ” they replied. “Investigate and you will see that no prophet arises from Galilee.”
