John 7:42
But still others asked, “How can the Christ come from Galilee? Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Christ will come from the line of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived? ”
What it says
Still others object that the Christ should come from David's line and Bethlehem, not Galilee.
What it is doing
This verse voices the scriptural objection.
In context
40On hearing these words, some of the people said, “This is truly the Prophet.” 41Others declared, “This is the Christ.” 42But still others asked, “How can the Christ come from Galilee? Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Christ will come from the line of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived? ” 43So there was division in the crowd because of Jesus. 44Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.
