* Many of the people therefore , when they heard this saying , said , Of a truth this is the Prophet . * Others said , This is the Christ . But some said , Shall Christ come out of Galilee ? * Hath not the scripture said , That Christ cometh of the seed of David , and out of the town of Bethlehem , where David was ? * So there was a division among the people because of him . * And some of them would have taken him ; but no man laid hands on him . * Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees ; and they said unto them , Why have ye not brought him ? * The officers answered , Never man spake like this man . * Then answered them the Pharisees , Are ye also deceived ? * Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him ? * But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed . * Nicodemus saith unto them , (he that came to Jesus by night , being one of them ,) * Doth our law judge any man , before it hear him , and know what he doeth ? * They answered and said unto him , Art thou also of Galilee ? Search , and look : for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet .
