John 7:43-49

⁴³A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of him.

⁴⁴And certain of them were willing to seize him, but no one laid hands on him;

⁴⁵the officers came, therefore, unto the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, 'Wherefore did ye not bring him?'

⁴⁶The officers answered, 'Never so spake man — as this man.'

⁴⁷The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, 'Have ye also been led astray?

⁴⁸did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the Pharisees?

⁴⁹but this multitude, that is not knowing the law, is accursed.'
