John 7:45-52

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴⁵ The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them: Why have you not brought him?

⁴⁶ The ministers answered: Never did man speak like this man.

⁴⁷ The Pharisees therefore answered them: Are you also seduced?

⁴⁸ Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?

⁴⁹ But this multitude, that knoweth not the law, are accursed.

⁵⁰ Nicodemus said to them, (he that came to him by night, who was one of them:)

⁵¹ Doth our law judge any man, unless it first hear him, and know what he doth?

⁵² They answered, and said to him: Art thou also a Galilean? Search the scriptures, and see, that out of Galilee a prophet riseth not.
