Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? — Nicodemus repeats his question, emphasizing the need for proper process: the Law requires hearing and investigation before judgment.

Yet for the moment, Nicodemus's intervention demonstrates that the institutional opposition is not unanimous.
