John 7:43-49

⁴³So there arose a division in the crowds because of him.

⁴⁴Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

⁴⁵Then the officers came back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why did you not bring him?”

⁴⁶The officers answered, “Never has anyone spoken like this.”

⁴⁷So the Pharisees answered them, “Have you also been deceived?

⁴⁸Have any of the rulers believed in him, or any of the Pharisees?

⁴⁹But this crowd that does not know the law, they are cursed.”
