John 7:45-49

New International Version

Unbelief of the Jewish Leaders

⁴⁵ Finally the temple guards went back to the chief priests and the Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring him in?”

⁴⁶ “No one ever spoke the way this man does,”^(A) the guards replied.

⁴⁷ “You mean he has deceived you also?”^(B) the Pharisees retorted. ⁴⁸ “Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?^{(C) 49} No! But this mob that knows nothing of the law—there is a curse on them.”
