John 7:40-44

New Matthew Bible

⁴⁰ Many of the people, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth, this is a prophet. ⁴¹ Others said, This is the Christ. Some said, Will the Christ come out of Galilee? ⁴² Does the scripture not say that Christ will come of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

⁴³ So was there dissension among the people about him. ⁴⁴ And some of them wanted to seize him, but no man laid hands on him.
