When people saw the miracles of Jesus and heard Him preach and teach, they quickly formed opinions about Him,

Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Will the Christ come out of Galilee? Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?” So there was a division among the people because of Him. Now some of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him (John 7:41–44).

Some thought Jesus was the Prophet who was to be like Moses (John 7:40), while others said He was the Christ, but others questioned whether the Christ would come out of Galilee, because they believed the Scriptures taught that He would be of Bethlehem.

Truthfully, Jesus is the Prophet, and the Christ, who was born in Bethlehem, but grew up in Galilee, all of which fulfilled prophecy.

Beware of hanging onto just a few ideas from Scripture to the neglect of the rest of God’s word, but seek the whole truth.
