John 7:40-52

Coverdale(i) 40 Many of the people now whan they herde this sayenge, sayde: This is a very prophet. 41 Other sayde: He is Christ. But some sayde: Shal Christ come out of Galile? 42 Sayeth not the scripture, that Christ shal come of the sede of Dauid, and out of the towne of Bethleem, where Dauid was? 43 Thus was there discencion amonge the people for his sake. 44 Some of them wolde haue taken him, but no man layed handes on him. 45 The seruauntes came to the hye prestes and pharises, and they sayde vnto them: Why haue ye not brought him? 46 The seruauntes answered: Neuer ma spake as this man doth. 47 Then answered them the pharises: Are ye also disceaued? 48 Doth eny of the rulers or pharises beleue on him? 49 But the comon people which knowe not the lawe, are cursed. 50 Nicodemus sayde vnto them, he that came to him by night, which was one of them: 51 Doth oure lawe iudge eny man, before it heare him, and knowe what he hath done? 52 They answered and sayde vnto him? Art thou a Galilean also? Searche and loke, out of Galile aryseth no prophet.
