OET (OET-RV) “So do you come from Galilee as well?” they sneered, “Look in the scriptures and you’ll soon see that no prophet emerges out of Galilee.”

μὴ καὶ σὺ ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἶ?
not also you from ¬the Galilee are
The Jewish leaders know that Nicodemus is not from Galilee. They ask this question as a way of scoffing at him. If your language does not use questions in this way, use another way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “You must also be one of those people from Galilee!”

Here, John records the Jewish leaders leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply the missing words from the context. Alternate translation: “Look carefully and read what is written in the Scriptures to learn”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
προφήτης ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας οὐκ ἐγείρεται
/a/_prophet (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ μὴ καὶ σὺ ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἶ ἐραύνησον καὶ ἴδε ὅτι ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας προφήτης οὐκ ἐγείρεται)
The Jewish leaders believed that Jesus came from Galilee and that no prophet in the scriptures came from Galilee. Therefore, based on their reasoning, Jesus could not be a prophet. However, what they believed was incorrect. Jesus did not originally come from Galilee, but Bethlehem in Judea. Also, the prophet Jonah came from Galilee (2 Kings 14:25) and Isaiah 9:1–7 said that the Messiah would be a great light rising from Galilee. If your readers might not understand what the Jewish leaders are implying, you could state it explicitly. Alternate translation: “no prophet rises up from Galilee, so this man cannot be a true prophet”
ἐγείρεται
/is_being/_raised
Here, rises up means to appear. Alternate translation: “appears”
7:52 no prophet ever comes from Galilee! The Jewish leaders were apparently unaware that Jesus had been born in Bethlehem of Judea, not in Galilee (see Matt 2:1; Luke 2:1-7).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
