40 Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, "Truly this is the Prophet." 41 Others said, "This is the Christ."
But some said, "Will the Christ come out of Galilee? 42 Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?" 43 So there was a division among the people because of Him. 44 Now some of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
My Comments:
Just one brief comment today. Isn't it just shocking at how hard some people will work to try and prove that Jesus is not who He says He is. What's so bad is that they work so hard and are still completely wrong. In today's reading we see an example of this; one group tried to say that Jesus could not be the messiah because they thought that He was not born in the scripturally designated, prophesized place of the messiah's birth. When in fact Jesus was born in Bethlehem, not Galilee as proposed by the crowds.

Speaking of lineage...Jesus is from the tribe of Judah. Wasn't it Judah who was willing to sacrifice himself to pharoah for his brother . I guess sacrifice is in the blood...
