45The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why didn`t you bring him?" 46The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man!" 47The Pharisees therefore answered them, "Are you also led astray? 48Has any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees? 49But this cursed multitude doesn`t know the law." 50Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them, 51"Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?" 52They answered him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee."
