John 7:52

Galilee

50 Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who himself was one of them, asked,

51 “Does our law convict a man without first hearing from him to determine what he has done?”

“Aren’t you also from Galilee?” they replied. “Look into it, and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.”

53 Then each went to his own home.
