John 7:40-43

New American Standard Bible

People’s Division over Jesus

⁴⁰ Some of the people therefore, after they heard these words, were saying, “This truly is ^(A)the Prophet.” ⁴¹ Others were saying, “This is the ^[a]Christ.” But others were saying, “^(B)Surely the ^[b]Christ is not coming from Galilee, is He? ⁴² Has the Scripture not said that the Christ comes from ^(C)the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?” ⁴³ So ^(D)a dissension occurred in the crowd because of Him.
