ACC ~ John 7 v47 - 49

THOSE WHO DID NOT KNOW THE LAW BELIEVE

AUGUSTINE: Those who did not know the law believed on the one who had sent the law, and those men who were teaching the law despised him. [1] … For the Pharisees, the teachers of the law, were made blind, and the people who did not know the law and yet believed on the author of the law were enlightened.
