John 7:52 (KJV)
Commentary on John 7:52
They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. The Pharisees respond with ridicule. Questioning whether Nicodemus is Galilean is insulting—Galileans were viewed as backward. The command 'search and look' dismisses his argument. Their claim 'out of Galilee ariseth no prophet' is false—Jonah was from Gath-hepher in Galilee (2 Kings 14:25), and likely others. Their dogmatic assertion shows how prejudice trumps evidence. They refuse investigation, preferring comfortable assumptions.
