John 7:40-42
40 Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, “Truly this is the Prophet.” 41 Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Will the Christ come out of Galilee? 42 Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?”
Many read that the Christ was coming, but they told of Bethlehem, not Nazareth of Galilee. But they did not know of the census and Jesus' family moving, so they refused to fully believe what He said and did based on incomplete knowledge of scripture and events. So we too must look deep and patiently wait at times for understanding of God's word and work.
