Division of People over Jesus
40
Some of the
people
therefore
, when they
heard
these
words
, were
saying
,
"This
certainly
is
1
the
Prophet
."
41
Others
were
saying
,
"This
is the
Christ
." Still
others
were
saying
, "
2
Surely
the
Christ
is not going to
come
from
Galilee
, is He?
42
"Has not the
Scripture
said
that the
Christ
comes
from
3
the
descendants
of
David
, and from
Bethlehem
, the
village
where
David
was?"
43
So
4
a
division
occurred
in the
crowd
because
of Him.
44
5
Some
of them
wanted
to
seize
Him, but
no
one
laid
hands
on Him.
45
The
6
officers
then
came
to the
chief
priests
and
Pharisees
, and they
said
to them,
"Why
*
did you not
bring
Him?"
46
The
7
officers
answered
, "
8
Never
has a
man
spoken
the
way
this
man
speaks
."
47
The
Pharisees
then
answered
them, "
9
You have not
also
been
led
astray
, have you?
48
"
10
No
one
of
11
the
rulers
or
Pharisees
has
believed
in Him, has he?
49
"But
this
crowd
which does not
know
the
Law
is
accursed
."
50
12
Nicodemus
(he who
came
to Him
before
,
being
one
of them)
said
to them,
51
"
13
Our
Law
does not
judge
a
man
unless
*
it
first
hears
from him and
knows
what
he is
doing
, does it?"
52
They
answered
him, "
14
You are not
also
from
Galilee
, are you?
Search
, and
see
that
no
prophet
arises
out of
Galilee
."
53
[Everyone
went
to his
home
.
