Yhn 7:45–52

7:45 The leaders distrust Yeshua and mock his followers

45 So when the servants returned back to the chief priests and the Farisaios, they were asked, “Why haven’t you brought him?”

46 They answered, “We’ve never heard anyone speak like he does.”

47 “Don’t tell us that you’ve also been taken in by him?” the Farisaios asked them. 48 “None of our leaders or any of us Farisaios believe that he’s from God. 49 But all these people ignorant of the scriptures are bewitched.”

50 Now Nikodemos (the one who had previously visited Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus)) spoke up,[ref] 51 “Since when did our rules allow us to judge a person before we’ve even heard them out and investigated what they’re doing?”

52 “So do you come from Galil as well?” they sneered, “Look in the scriptures and you’ll soon see that no prophet emerges out of Galil.”

The story of the woman caught in adultery does not appear in the majority of the oldest manuscripts that we have. Hence, it is not included in this translation.

(That doesn’t necessarily mean that the event never happened—just that it almost certainly wasn’t part of Yohan’s original account.)
