John 7:40-44

40When the crowds heard him say this, some of them declared, “Surely this man is the Prophet we’ve been expecting.”

41Others said, “He is the Messiah.” Still others said, “But he can’t be! Will the Messiah come from Galilee?

42For the Scriptures clearly state that the Messiah will be born of the royal line of David, in Bethlehem, the village where King David was born.”

43So the crowd was divided about him.

44Some even wanted him arrested, but no one laid a hand on him.
