John 7:51 (KJV)
Commentary on John 7:51
Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? Nicodemus appeals to Jewish legal procedure—no one should be condemned without hearing. This is mild defense, not open confession. He doesn't claim Jesus is Messiah, only that He deserves fair hearing. His argument is based on justice (Deuteronomy 1:16-17), not endorsement. Yet even this mild defense provokes hostile response (verse 52). This shows how unreasonable opposition can be—even procedural fairness is rejected when convenient.
