Contextual Overview

³⁷ On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus stood up and shouted, "If you are thirsty, come to me and drink! ³⁸ Have faith in me, and you will have life-giving water flowing from deep inside you, just as the Scriptures say." ³⁹ Jesus was talking about the Holy Spirit, who would be given to everyone that had faith in him. The Spirit had not yet been given to anyone, since Jesus had not yet been given his full glory. ⁴⁰ When the crowd heard Jesus say this, some of them said, "He must be the Prophet!" ⁴¹ Others said, "He is the Messiah!" Others even said, "Can the Messiah come from Galilee? ⁴² The Scriptures say that the Messiah will come from the family of King David. Doesn't this mean that he will be born in David's hometown of Bethlehem?" ⁴³ The people started taking sides against each other because of Jesus. ⁴⁴ Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on 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.
