7:47	And so the Pharisees answered them: “Have you also been seduced?
7:48	Have any of the leaders believed in him, or any of the Pharisees?
7:49	But this crowd, which does not know the law, they are accursed.”
7:50	Nicodemus, the one who came to him by night and who was one of them, Wathi kubo,

7:52	Basabela bathi kuye: “Are you also a Galilean? Study the Scriptures, and see that a prophet does not arise from Galilee.”
7:53	And each one returned to his own house.
