John 7:48

The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”

The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?

But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”

Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,

“Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”
