48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? 49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. 50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) 51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? 52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. 53 And every man went unto his own house.
Si Nicodemo, na pumunta kay Jesus nang gabi, ay kasama nila. Sinabi niya sa kanila: Hindi ba ang ating kautusan ay hindi humahatol sa isang tao kung hindi muna siya naririnig nito o hindi muna inaalam ang kaniyang ginagawa? Sumagot sila at sinabi sa kaniya: Ikaw ba ay taga-Galilea rin? Saliksikin mo at tingnan sapagkat walang propetang nagbuhat sa Galilea. Ang bawat isa ay umuwi sa kani-kaniyang tahanan.
