John 7:39-44 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

39. He said this about the Spirit. Those who believed in Jesus were going to receive the Spirit, for the Spirit had not yet been received because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

40. When some from the crowd heard these words, they said, “This really is the Prophet! ”

41. Others said, “This is the Messiah! ” But some said, “Surely the Messiah doesn’t come from Galilee, does He?

42. Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Messiah comes from David’s offspring and from the town of Bethlehem, where David once lived? ”

43. So a division occurred among the crowd because of Him.

44. Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
