John 7:45

43 So there was division in the crowd because of Jesus.

44 Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.

Then the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring Him in?”

46 “Never has anyone spoken like this man!” the officers answered.

47 “Have you also been deceived?” replied the Pharisees.
