Who Is He?
40 Therefore [a]many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, “Truly this is (A)the Prophet.” 41 Others said, “This is (B)the Christ.”
But some said, “Will the Christ come out of Galilee? 42 (C)Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, (D)where David was?” 43 So (E)there was a division among the people because of Him. 44 Now (F)some of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
