John 7:40-44

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

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

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

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

⁴⁴Some wanted to arrest him, but nobody laid a hand on him.
