Contextual Overview

³⁷ On the last day of the Festival--the great day--Jesus stood up and cried aloud. "Whoever is thirsty," He said, "let him come to me and drink. ³⁸ He who believes in me, from within him--as the Scripture has said--rivers of living water shall flow." ³⁹ He referred to the Spirit which those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not bestowed as yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified. ⁴⁰ After listening to these discourses, some of the crowd began to say, "This is beyond doubt the Prophet." ⁴¹ Others said, "He is the Christ." But others again, "Not so, for is the Christ to come from Galilee? ⁴² Has not the Scripture declared that the Christ is to come of the family of David and from Bethlehem, David's village?" ⁴³ So there was a violent dissension among the people on His account. ⁴⁴ Some of them wanted at once to arrest Him, but no one laid hands upon Him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So there was a division among the people concerning him. Some, though they did not go so far as to believe him to be the Messiah, yet took him to be a prophet, and a very extraordinary one; others made no difficulty to assert him to be the Christ; and others objected to it on account of the country from whence he came, and so fulfilled the words of Christ, Luke 12:51.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 43. There was a division — σχισμα, a schism; they were divided in sentiment, and separated into parties. This is the true notion of schism.
