48“Have any of the rulers or Pharisees believed in Him?
49But this crowd that does not know the law, they are under a curse.”
50Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who himself was one of them, asked,
51“Does our law convict a man without first hearing from him to determine what he has done?”
52“Aren’ t you also from Galilee?” they replied. “Look into it, and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.”
— John 7:48-52
