Gospel John 7:40-53
40Therefore, some from that crowd, when they had heard these words of his, were saying, “This one truly is the Prophet.”
41Others were saying, “He is the Christ.” Yet certain ones were saying: “Does the Christ come from Galilee?
42Does Scripture not say that the Christ comes from the offspring of David and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?”
43And so there arose a dissension among the multitude because of him.
44Now certain ones among them wanted to apprehend him, but no one laid hands upon him.
45Therefore, the attendants went to the high priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them, “Why have you not brought him?”
46The attendants responded, “Never has a man spoken like this man.”
47And so the Pharisees answered them: “Have you also been seduced?
48Have any of the leaders believed in him, or any of the Pharisees?
49But this crowd, which does not know the law, they are accursed.”
50Nicodemus, the one who came to him by night and who was one of them, said to them,
51“Does our law judge a man, unless it has first heard him and has known what he has done?”
52They responded and said to him: “Are you also a Galilean? Study the Scriptures, and see that a prophet does not arise from Galilee.”
53And each one returned to his own house.

Citations as published in the USCCB liturgical calendar.
In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.
Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
