40 Then many of the people, when they heard this word, said, Truly this is the Prophet. 41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall the Christ come out of Galilee? 42 Has not the scripture said, That the Christ comes of the seed of David and out of the town of Bethlehem where David was? 43 So there was a division among the people because of him. 44 And some of them would have taken him, but no one laid hands on him.
45 Then the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees came, and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? 46 The officers answered, Never has anyone spoken like this man. 47 Then the Pharisees answered them, Are ye also deceived? 48 Have any of the princes or of the Pharisees believed on him? 49 But this people who do not know the law are cursed. 50 Nicodemus said unto them (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them), 51 Does our law judge any man before it hears him and knows what he does? 52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and see, for a prophet has never arisen out of Galilee.
