40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is bthe Prophet. 41 Others said, cThis is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come dout of Galilee? 42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh eof the seed of David, and out of the town of fBeth-lehem, gwhere David was? 43 So there was ha division among the people because of him. 44 And isome of them would have taken him; ibut no man laid hands on him.

45 Then came kthe officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, kWhy have ye not brought him? 46 kThe officers answered, lNever man spake like this man. 47 Then answered them the Pharisees, mAre ye also deceived? 48 nHave any of othe rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? 49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. 50 oNicodemus saith unto them, p(he that came †to Jesus by night, being one of them,) 51 Doth qour law judge any man, before it rhear him, and know what he doeth? 52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for sout of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

53 And every man went unto his own house.
