| 7:41 | Others were saying, “He is the Christ.” Yet certain ones were saying: “Does the Christ come from Galilee? |
| 7:42 | Does Scripture not say that the Christ comes from the offspring of David and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?” |

| 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, |
| 7:51 | “Does our law judge a man, unless it has first heard him and has known what he has done?” |
| 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. |
