John 7:40-44

Division of People over Jesus

40 Some of the crowd therefore, when they heard these words, were saying, “This truly is ^athe Prophet.” 41 Others were saying, “This is the ¹Christ.” Still others were saying, “^aNo, for is the ¹Christ going to come from Galilee? 42 Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from ^athe seed of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?” 43 So ^aa division occurred in the crowd because of Him. 44 ^aSome of them were wanting to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
