Gospel JN 7:40-53     Some in the crowd who heard Jesus’ words said, "This is really the Prophet?" Others said, "This is the Christ." But others questioned, " Will Christ come from Galilee? Does not Scripture say that the Christ will be of David's family and come from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?" So a dispute broke out in the crowd because of him. Some of them even wanted to detain him, but no one arrested him.  So the police went to the chief priests and Pharisees, and asked them, "Why did you not detain him?" They answered, "Never before has anyone spoken like this man." So the Pharisees answered them, "Have you also been deceived? Do any of the authorities or the Pharisees believe in him? But these people are ignorant of the law and are lost." Nicodemus, one of their members who was with Jesus earlier, said to them, “Does our law condemn a person before listening to the accused to find out the facts of the case?" They answered and said to him, "You are not from Galilee are you? Look and be aware that no prophet can come from Galilee."
