Therefore the officers went back to the Chief Priests and the Pharisees, and they said to them: ‘Why did you not bring him?’
The officers replied ‘ No man has ever spoken like him.’
So the Pharisees answered ‘You have not been deceived too, have you?’ Has one of the authorities or any of the Pharisees believed in him? But this crowd, which does not know the Law, is cursed.’
Nicodemus, who came to him before and who was one of them, said to them, ‘Our Law does not judge a man unless first it has heard from him, and knows what he has been doing, does it?’
They responded :’ You are not from Galilee too, are you? Search and you will see that that (the) prophet does not rise from Galilee.’
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, union;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy,
For your mercy and for your truth’s sake. Amen
