John 7:38-44

³⁸I tell you what I have myself seen in the presence of my Father; and you, in the same way, do what you have learnt from your father.”

³⁹(By this he meant the Spirit, which those who had believed in him were to receive; for the Spirit had not yet come, because Jesus had not yet been exalted.)

⁴⁰Some of the people, when they heard these words, said, “This is certainly the Prophet!”;

⁴¹others said, “the Christ!”; but some asked, “What! Does the Christ come from Galilee?

⁴²Is not it said in scripture that it is of the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village to which David belonged, that the Christ is to come?”

⁴³So there was a sharp division amongst the people because of Jesus.

⁴⁴Some of them wanted to arrest him, and yet no one touched him.
