They answered and said unto him, Are you also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee arises no prophet.
All Commentaries on John 7:52 Go To John 7
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
They say to Nicodemus: Art thou also a Galilean, who defendest this Galilean, whereas no prophet, nor especially the Messias, comes from Galilee? (Witham)
A prophet, properly the prophet: for they could not be ignorant that the prophet Jonas was from Galilee. We have not indeed the article the in this verse, but we find it in ver. 40, with which this appears to correspond. (Haydock)
