Interpretation of the Gospel of John

Others said, "This is Christ."

431

And some said, "Will Christ come from Galilee?"

432

Does not the Scripture say that Christ will come from the seed of David and from Bethlehem, from the place where David was?

433

And so there was a strife among the people about Him.

434

Some of them wanted to seize Him;

435

but no one laid hands on Him.

436

So the ministers returned to the chief priests and the Pharisees, and these said to them, "Why did you not bring Him?" The ministers answered, "Never did a man speak like this man."

437

And the Pharisees said unto them, Have ye also been deceived?

438

Did any of the rulers or Pharisees believe in Him? But this people is ignorant of the law;

439

Cursed is he.

440

Nicodemus, who came to him by night, being one of them, said to them, "Does our law judge a man, unless they first hear him, and know what he will do?"

441

And they said to him, Are you not also of Galilee?

442

look and see that there is no prophet coming from Galilee.

443

And they all went home.

444
