Oh snap
Just wanted to share one of my favorite scenes from the Gospels.
Ah Nicodemus. Tell it like it is. I have this image in my head of the Pharisees asking their question and Nicodemus starting by saying "Actually . . .".
So the guards went to the chief priests and Pharisees,
who asked them, “Why did you not bring him?”
The guards answered, “Never before has anyone spoken like this man.”
So the Pharisees answered them, “Have you also been deceived?
Have any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in him?
But this crowd, which does not know the law, is accursed.”
Nicodemus, one of their members who had come to him earlier, said to them,
“Does our law condemn a man before it first hears him
and finds out what he is doing?”
They answered and said to him,
“You are not from Galilee also, are you?
Look and see that no prophet arises from Galilee.”
Ah Nicodemus. Tell it like it is. I have this image in my head of the Pharisees asking their question and Nicodemus starting by saying "Actually . . .".
