Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?

Yet many of the crowd believed in him and said, "Whenever the Christ comes, he won't perform more miraculous signs than this man did, will he?"

He first found his own brother Simon and told him, "We have found the Messiah!" (which is translated Christ).

The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming" (the one called Christ); "whenever he comes, he will tell us everything."

We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God!"

They answered, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

They replied, "You aren't from Galilee too, are you? Investigate carefully and you will see that no prophet comes from Galilee!"

Nathanael replied, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip replied, "Come and see."

For from now on there will be five in one household divided, three against two and two against three.

Another sharp division took place among the Jewish people because of these words.
