John 7:40-51

⁴⁰So many of the people, when they heard this saying, said, Of a trueth this is that Prophet.

⁴¹Other saide, This is that Christ: and some said, But shall that Christ come out of Galile?

⁴²Saith not the Scripture that that Christ shall come of the seede of Dauid, and out of the towne of Beth-leem, where Dauid was?

⁴³So was there dissension among the people for him.

⁴⁴And some of them would haue taken him, but no man layde handes on him.

⁴⁵Then came the officers to the hie Priests and Pharises, and they said vnto them, Why haue ye not brought him?

⁴⁶The officers answered, Neuer man spake like this man.

⁴⁷Then answered them the Pharises, Are yee also deceiued?

⁴⁸Doeth any of the rulers, or of the Pharises beleeue in him?

⁴⁹But this people, which know not the Law, are cursed.

⁵⁰Nicodemus said vnto them, (he that came to Iesus by night, and was one of them.)

⁵¹Doth our Law iudge a man before it heare him, and knowe what he hath done?
