"Differing Opinions About Jesus When they heard these words, some of the crowd began to say,“This really is the Prophet!”"
— John 7:40, NET Bible
“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."”
“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.”
Teaching About the Spirit On the last day of the feast, the greatest day, Jesus stood up and shouted out,“If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, and
let the one who believes in me drink. Just as the scripture says,‘From within him will flow rivers of living water.’”
(Now he said this about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were going to receive, for the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)
Differing Opinions About Jesus When they heard these words, some of the crowd began to say,“This really is the Prophet!”
Others said,“This is the Christ!” But still others said,“No, for the Christ doesn’t come from Galilee, does he?
Don’t the scriptures say that the Christ is a descendant of David and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”
So there was a division in the crowd because of Jesus.
