⁴² The Scripture says that the ·Christ [Messiah] will come from David’s ·family [offspring; ^Lseed; 2 Sam. 7:12–16; Ps. 89:3–4; Is. 9:7; 55:3] and from Bethlehem, the ·town [village] where David lived [Mic. 5:2].” ⁴³ So ·the people did not agree with each other [^Lthere was a division in the crowd] about Jesus. ⁴⁴ Some of them wanted to ·arrest [seize] him, but no one was able to ·touch [^Llay a hand on] him.
