NASB
"Some of the people therefore, when they heard these words, were saying, "This certainly is the Prophet.""
— John 7:40, NASB
“Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.”
“Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is of a truth the prophet. ”
“Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, "This is truly the prophet."”
“Differing Opinions About Jesus When they heard these words, some of the crowd began to say,“This really is the Prophet!””
“Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed.”
“When these words came to their ears, some of the people said, This is certainly the prophet.”
“Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.”
Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.
"He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'"
But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Some of the people therefore, when they heard these words, were saying, "This certainly is the Prophet."
Others were saying, "This is the Christ." Still others were saying, "Surely the Christ is not going to come from Galilee, is He?
"Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"
So a division occurred in the crowd because of Him.
