John 7:40-44 Three way split


Some of the crowd, hearing this, began to say ‘This man is really the Prophet.’ Others were saying ‘This man is the Christ.’ but still others said ‘No. The Christ does not come from Galilee, does he? Did not Scripture say that the Christ has David as an ancestor, and comes from the village of Bethlehem, where David was.’ So a split happened in the crowd because of him. 

Some of them wanted  to arrest him, but nobody laid their hands on him.

O Lord Jesus Christ,
stay beside me to defend me,
within me to guide me,
before me to lead me,
and above me to bless me,
that with you and in you,
I may live, and move and have my being,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
