John 7:47
45 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.
“Have you also been deceived?” replied the Pharisees.
48 “Have any of the rulers or Pharisees believed in Him?
49 But this crowd that does not know the law, they are under a curse.”
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
