## John 7:45-49 in Context (Verses 42–52 KJV)
 
 [42 ](/kjv/john/7/42) Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
 
 [43 ](/kjv/john/7/43) So there was a division among the people because of him.
 
 [44 ](/kjv/john/7/44) And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
 
 [45 ](/kjv/john/7/45) ¶ Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
 
 [46 ](/kjv/john/7/46) The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
 
 [47 ](/kjv/john/7/47) Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
 
 [48 ](/kjv/john/7/48) Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
 
 [49 ](/kjv/john/7/49) But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
 
 [50 ](/kjv/john/7/50) Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
 
 [51 ](/kjv/john/7/51) Doth our law judge *any* man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
 
 [52 ](/kjv/john/7/52) They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
