The People Are Divided over Jesus

40 When they heard [fn]this, [fn]many from among the crowd were saying, “Surely this man is the Prophet.” 41 Others were saying, “He is the Christ.” But [fn]others were saying, “No, for the Christ does not come from Galilee, does he? 42 Does not the Scripture say that the Christ will come from David's descendants and from Bethlehem, the town where David lived?” 43 So a division arose among the crowd because of Jesus. 44 Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him.
