John 7:40-44
New International Version
40 On hearing his words, some of the people said, “Surely this man is the Prophet.”(A)
41 Others said, “He is the Messiah.”
Still others asked, “How can the Messiah come from Galilee?(B) 42 Does not Scripture say that the Messiah will come from David’s descendants(C) and from Bethlehem,(D) the town where David lived?” 43 Thus the people were divided(E) because of Jesus. 44 Some wanted to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.(F)
John 7:40-44
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The People Are Divided over Jesus
40 When some from the crowd heard these words, they said, “This really is the Prophet!”[a](A) 41 Others said, “This is the Messiah!” But some said, “Surely the Messiah doesn’t come from Galilee, does He? 42 Doesn’t the Scripture(B) say that the Messiah comes from David’s(C) offspring[b] and from the town of Bethlehem,(D) where David once lived?” 43 So a division(E) occurred among the crowd because of Him. 44 Some of them wanted to seize Him,(F) but no one laid hands on Him.

John 7:40-44
King James Version
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.
44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
