John 7:40-51

⁴⁰Therefore of that company, when they had heard these words of him, they said, This is verily a prophet (or He is truly the Prophet).

⁴¹Others said, This is Christ. But some said, Whether Christ cometh from Galilee? (Others said, He is the Messiah. But some said, Will the Messiah come from Galilee?)

⁴²Whether the scripture saith not, that of the seed of David, and of the castle of Bethlehem, where David was, Christ cometh? (Saith not the Scripture, that from the seed of David, and from the village of Bethlehem, where David was, the Messiah shall come?)

⁴³Therefore dissension was made among the people for him.

⁴⁴And some of them would have taken (hold of) him, but no man set (his) hands on him.

⁴⁵Therefore the ministers came to the bishops, and Pharisees, and they said to them, Why brought ye not him? (And so the servants came back to the high priests, and the Pharisees, and they said to them, Why have ye not brought him back to us?)

⁴⁶The ministers answered (or The servants answered), Never (a) man spake so, as this man speaketh.

⁴⁷Therefore the Pharisees answered to them, Whether ye be deceived also?

⁴⁸whether any of the princes, or (we) of the Pharisees believed in him? (do any of the leaders, yea, the high priests, or we of the Pharisees believe in him?)

⁴⁹But this people, that knoweth not the law, be cursed. (Let these people, who do not know the Law, be cursed!)

⁵⁰Nicodemus saith to them, he that came to him by night, that was one of them,

⁵¹Whether our law deemeth a man, no but it have first heard of him or no but first it have heard of him, and know what he doeth? (Certainly our Law judgeth no one, unless it first have heard from him, and know what he doeth?)
