40. When some in the crowd heard these words, they said, "This man is truly the prophet."
41. Others said, "He’s the Christ." But others said, "The Christ can’t come from Galilee, can he?
42. Didn’t the scripture say that the Christ comes from David’s family and from Bethlehem, David’s village?"
43. So the crowd was divided over Jesus.
44. Some wanted to arrest him, but no one grabbed him.
45. The guards returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked, "Why didn’t you bring him?"
46. The guards answered, "No one has ever spoken the way he does."
47. The Pharisees replied, "Have you too been deceived?
48. Have any of the leaders believed in him? Has any Pharisee?
49. No, only this crowd, which doesn’t know the Law. And they are under God’s curse!"
