John 7:46-51
46 The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this Man!” 47 Then the Pharisees answered them, “Are you also deceived? 48 Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in Him? 49 But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed.” 50 Nicodemus (he who came to Jesus by night, being one of them) said to them, 51 “Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?”
Judging Jesus before listening to what He says goes against the Jewish law - but also against ours today. Prejudice in a court is out of place, and so with us if we do not hear Jesus first by reading the Bible for ourselves. Many who dismiss or attack Jesus never listen, only hearing others against Him and not looking for themselves, and don't know what is going on or what is even true. What do you do?
