John 7, 40-53

Jerusalem Bible (Go). 40. Some of the crowd who had been listening said, 'He is indeed the prophet,' 41. and some said, 'He is the Christ,' but others said, 'Would the Christ come from Galilee? 42. Does not scripture say that the Christ must be descended from David and come from Bethlehem, the village where David was?' 43. So the people could not agree about him. 44. Some wanted to arrest him, but no one actually laid a hand on him. 45. The guards went back to the chief priests and Pharisees who said to them, 'Why haven't you brought him?'

46. The guards replied, 'No one has ever spoken like this man.'

47. 'So,' the Pharisees answered, 'you, too, have been led astray?

48. Have any of the authorities come to believe in him? Any of the Pharisees? 49. This rabble knows nothing about the Law -- they are damned.' 50. One of them, Nicodemus -- the same man who had come to Jesus earlier -- said to them, 51. 'But surely our Law does not allow us to pass judgement on anyone without first giving him a hearing and discovering what he is doing?' 52. To this they answered, 'Are you a Galilean too? Go into the matter, and see for yourself: prophets do not arise in Galilee.' 53. They all went home..

My thoughts: Come Holy Spirit, heal me. For me you are the Christ, I recognize that You died on the cross for me, only you have the words of eternal life and transform our lives, there is no one like you sir.
