39But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.40Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, Truly this is the Prophet.41Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Will the Christ come out of Galilee?42Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
