"Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. And every man went unto his own house."
Today's quote relates how the officers of the temple were amazed by the things Jesus said and did, and how they hesitated to turn Him over to the Jewish hierarchy.
Nicodemus, and man who had heard and believed in Jesus, scorned the leaders of the Pharisees from the law saying they had no right to take Jesus.
This confrontation began the ordeal that would lead to our savior's eventual sacrifice to remit the sins of the world.~
