John 7:44

42 Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Christ will come from the line of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”

43 So there was division in the crowd because of Jesus.

Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.

45 Then the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring Him in?”

46 “Never has anyone spoken like this man!” the officers answered.
