John 7:39-43 in English

³⁹ But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet given; because Jesus was not yet glorified.

⁴⁰ Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is of a truth the prophet.

⁴¹ Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, What, doth the Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴² Hath not the scripture said that the Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?

⁴³ So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.

³⁹ He said this about the Spirit, who those believing in Him would receive. The Holy Spirit wasn’t yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.

⁴⁰ When they heard these words, many in the crowd were saying, “This is really the prophet.”

⁴¹ Others were saying, “This is the Christ,” but some were saying, “Surely the Christ isn’t going to come from Galilee, is He?

⁴² Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?”

⁴³ So there was a division among the crowd because of Jesus.

³⁹ (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

⁴⁰ Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.

⁴¹ Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴² Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

⁴³ So there was a division among the people because of him.

³⁹ But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet given; because Jesus was not yet glorified.

⁴⁰ Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is of a truth the prophet.

⁴¹ Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, What, doth the Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴² Hath not the scripture said that the Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?

⁴³ So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.

³⁹ When Jesus said that, he was referring to God's Spirit, whom those who believed in Jesus would receive later. Up to that time God had not sent the Spirit to live within believers, because Jesus had not yet died and returned to his glorious home in heaven, from where he would send the Spirit.

⁴⁰ When some of the crowd heard those words, they said, “Surely this man is the prophet whom God promised to send who would be like Moses!”

⁴¹ Others said, “He is the Messiah!” But others, thinking Jesus was born in Galilee, said, “The Messiah will not come from Galilee province, will he?

⁴² ◄Did a prophet not write in the Scriptures that the Messiah will come from King David's family, and be born in Bethlehem, where King David lived?/ It is written in the Scriptures that the Messiah will come from King David's family, and be born in Bethlehem, where King David lived!► RHQ”

⁴³ So the people were divided because of what they thought about Jesus.

³⁹ But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.

⁴⁰ Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”

⁴¹ Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴² Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”

⁴³ So a division arose in the multitude because of him.

³⁹ But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.

⁴⁰ Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”

⁴¹ Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴² Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”

⁴³ So a division arose in the multitude because of him.

³⁹ But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.

⁴⁰ Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”

⁴¹ Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴² Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”

⁴³ So a division arose in the multitude because of him.

³⁹ This he said of the Spirit which would be given to those who had faith in him: the Spirit had not been given then, because the glory of Jesus was still to come.

⁴⁰ When these words came to their ears, some of the people said, This is certainly the prophet.

⁴¹ Others said, This is the Christ. But others said, Not so; will the Christ come from Galilee?

⁴² Do not the Writings say that the Christ comes of the seed of David and from Beth-lehem, the little town where David was?

⁴³ So there was a division among the people because of him.

³⁹ But this he said concerning the Spirit, which they that believed on him were about to receive; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

⁴⁰ Some out of the crowd therefore, having heard this word, said, This is truly the prophet.

⁴¹ Others said, This is the Christ. Others said, Does then the Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴² Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from the village of Bethlehem, where David was?

⁴³ There was a division therefore in the crowd on account of him.

³⁹ Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive, who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

⁴⁰ Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed.

⁴¹ Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Doth the Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴² Doth not the scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem the town where David was?

⁴³ So there arose a dissension among the people because of him.

³⁹ (But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him were about to receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified).

⁴⁰ Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, “Truly this is the Prophet.”

⁴¹ Others said, “This is the Messiah.” Others said, “Surely the Messiah is not to come out of Galilee, is He?

⁴² Has not the Scripture said that the Messiah comes from the seed of David and from the village of Bethlehem, where David was?”

⁴³ Therefore a division occurred among the crowd because of Him.

³⁹ (Now He said this about the Spirit, whom those believing into Him were going to receive, in that the Holy Spirit had not yet been given because Jesus had not yet been glorified.)

⁴⁰ So upon hearing this word many from the crowd began to say, “This One really is ‘the Prophet’!”

⁴¹ Others were saying, “This One is the Christ!” Others were saying: “Surely the Christ isn't coming out of Galilee, is He?

⁴² Doesn't the Scripture say that the Christ comes out of the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?”

⁴³ So there developed a division in the crowd because of Him.

³⁹ He was referring to the Spirit that those who trusted in him would later receive. The Spirit hadn't been given yet because Jesus hadn't yet been glorified.

⁴⁰ When they heard these words, some of the people said, “This man is definitely the Prophet!”

⁴¹ Others said, “He is the Messiah!” Still others said, “How can the Messiah come from Galilee?

⁴² Doesn't Scripture say that the Messiah comes from David's lineage, and from David's home town of Bethlehem?”

⁴³ So the crowd had a strong difference of opinion about him.

³⁹ (This spake hee of the Spirite which they that beleeued in him, should receiue: for the holy Ghost was not yet giuen, because that Iesus was not yet glorified.)

⁴⁰ So many of the people, when they heard this saying, said, Of a trueth this is that Prophet.

⁴¹ Other saide, This is that Christ: and some said, But shall that Christ come out of Galile?

⁴² Saith not the Scripture that that Christ shall come of the seede of Dauid, and out of the towne of Beth-leem, where Dauid was?

⁴³ So was there dissension among the people for him.

³⁹ (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

⁴⁰ Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.

⁴¹ Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴² Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

⁴³ So there was a division among the people because of him.

³⁹ But this he said of the Spirit, which those that believed in him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

⁴⁰ Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is in truth the prophet. Others said, This is the Christ.

⁴¹ Others said, Doth the Christ then come from Galilee?

⁴² Hath not the Scripture said, that the Christ cometh from the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?

⁴³ So there was a division among the multitude because of him.

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.)

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

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

⁴² Is 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?”

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

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.)

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

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

⁴² Is 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?”

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

³⁹ But he said this about the Spirit, which those trusting in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Yeshua Salvation was not yet glorified.

⁴⁰ Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”

⁴¹ Others said, “This is the Messiah Anointed one.” But some said, “What, does the Messiah Anointed one come out of Galilee District, Circuit?

⁴² Has not the Scripture said that the Messiah Anointed one comes of the offspring of David Beloved, and from Bethlehem House of Bread, the village where David Beloved lived?”

⁴³ So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.

³⁹ This spak he of the sprete which they that beleved on him shuld receave. For the holy goost was not yet there because that Iesus was not yet glorifyed.

⁴⁰ Many of the people when they hearde this sayinge sayd: of a truth this is a prophet.

⁴¹ Other sayde: this is Christ. Some sayde: shall Christ come out of Galile?

⁴² Sayeth not the scripture that Christ shall come of the seed of David: and out of the toune of Bethleem where David was?

⁴³ So was ther dissencion amonge the people aboute him.

³⁹ But he said this about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him would receive; the Spirit had not yet been given because Jesus was not yet glorified.

⁴⁰ Some of the crowd, when they heard these words, said, “This is indeed the prophet.”

⁴¹ Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Does the Christ come from Galilee?

⁴² Have the scriptures not said that the Christ will come from the descendants of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”

⁴³ So there arose a division in the crowds because of him.

³⁹ But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.

⁴⁰ Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”

⁴¹ Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴² Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”

⁴³ So a division arose in the multitude because of him.

³⁹ But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.

⁴⁰ Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”

⁴¹ Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴² Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”

⁴³ So a division arose in the multitude because of him.

³⁹ (But this he spoke of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive, for the Holy Spirit was not yet given , because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

⁴⁰ Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, In truth this is the Prophet.

⁴¹ Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Will Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴² Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh from the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

⁴³ So there was a division among the people because of him.

³⁹ But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Yeshua wasn’t yet glorified.

⁴⁰ Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the Prophet.”

⁴¹ Others said, “This is the Messiah.” But some said, “What, does the Messiah come out of Galilee?

⁴² Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Messiah comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”

⁴³ So a division arose in the multitude because of him.

³⁹ But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Yeshua wasn’t yet glorified.

⁴⁰ Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the Prophet.”

⁴¹ Others said, “This is the Messiah.” But some said, “What, does the Messiah come out of Galilee?

⁴² Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Messiah comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”

⁴³ So a division arose in the multitude because of him.

³⁹ But he said this thing of the Spirit or of the Holy Ghost, whom men that believed in him should take; for the Spirit was not yet given, for Jesus was not yet glorified.

⁴⁰ Therefore of that company, when they had heard these words of him, they said, This is verily a prophet.

⁴¹ Others said, This is Christ. But some said, Whether Christ cometh from Galilee?

⁴² Whether the scripture saith not, that of the seed of David, and of the castle of Bethlehem, where David was, Christ cometh?

⁴³ Therefore dissension was made among the people for him.

³⁹ But he said this thing of the (Holy) Spirit or of the Holy Ghost, whom men that believed in him should take (or which those who believed in him would receive later); for the Spirit was not yet given, for Jesus was not yet glorified.

⁴⁰ Therefore of that company, when they had heard these words of him, they said, This is verily a prophet (or He is truly the Prophet).

⁴¹ Others said, This is Christ. But some said, Whether Christ cometh from Galilee? (Others said, He is the Messiah. But some said, Will the Messiah come from Galilee?)

⁴² Whether the scripture saith not, that of the seed of David, and of the castle of Bethlehem, where David was, Christ cometh? (Saith not the Scripture, that from the seed of David, and from the village of Bethlehem, where David was, the Messiah shall come?)

⁴³ Therefore dissension was made among the people for him.

³⁹ But he seide this thing of the Spirit, whom men that bileueden in hym schulden take; for the Spirit was not yit youun, for Jhesus was not yit glorified.

⁴⁰ Therfor of that cumpanye, whanne thei hadden herd these wordis of hym, thei seiden, This is verili a prophete.

⁴² Whether the scripture seith not, that of the seed of Dauid, and of the castel of Bethleem, where Dauid was, Crist cometh?

⁴³ Therfor discencioun was maad among the puple for hym.

³⁹ and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

⁴⁰ Many, therefore out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, 'This is truly the Prophet;'

⁴¹ others said, 'This is the Christ;' and others said, 'Why, out of Galilee doth the Christ come?

⁴² Did not the Writing say, that out of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem — the village where David was — the Christ doth come?'

⁴³ A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of him.
