John 7:40-44
Christian Standard Bible
The People Are Divided over Jesus
40 When some from the crowd heard these words, they said, “This truly is the Prophet.”(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[a] and from the town of Bethlehem,(D) where David lived?” 43 So the crowd was divided(E) because of him. 44 Some of them wanted to seize him,(F) but no one laid hands on him.

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)
