Others said, This is the Messiah. This is the Christ. But some
asked, Can He come from Galilee? Has the scripture not said that He
will come from the seed of David and out of the town of Bethlehem,
where David was? Now there was a division among the people about Him.
Some of them wanted to arrest Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
When the officers went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, they
asked, Why have you not brought Him? The officers answered, No one ever
spoke like this man. The Pharisees said, Are you deceived also? Have
any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed Him? These people
who do not know the law are cursed! Nicodemus, the one among them who
went to see Jesus at night, said to them, Does our law judge any man
before it hears him and knows what he does? They answered him, Are you
also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet arises from Galilee.
Then each went to his own house.
8. That night Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Early in the
morning He went back to the temple and all the people came to Him. He
sat down and taught them. The scribes and Pharisees brought in a woman
they accused of adultery. They put her in their midst and said to
Jesus, Master, this woman was taken in the very act of adultery. Moses,
in the law, commanded us to stone such a person. What do you say? They
said this to trap Him so they would have grounds to accuse Him.
