What did the Jews say to Jesus respecting his Messianic mission?
“Search and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet” ([John vii, 52]).
Search and look; for out of Galilee arose some of their greatest prophets, Jonah, Hosea, Nahum and Elijah. It may be urged that it is the Jews who give expression to the error; but it is plain the Evangelist accepts the statement as true.
