SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:43
Así que había disensión entre el pueblo por él.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 7:43
Verse 43. There was a division] scisma, a schism; they were divided in sentiment, and separated into parties. This is the true notion of schism.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 43. 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).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 40-53 - The malice of Christ's enemies is always against reason, and sometime the staying of it cannot be accounted for. Never any man spake with that wisdom, and power, and grace, that convincing clearness, and tha sweetness, wherewith Christ spake. Alas, that many, who are for a tim restrained, and who speak highly of the word of Jesus, speedily los their convictions, and go on in their sins! People are foolishly swaye by outward motives in matters of eternal moment, are willing even to be damned for fashion's sake. As the wisdom of God often chooses thing which men despise, so the folly of men commonly despises those whom God has chosen. The Lord brings forward his weak and timid disciples, an sometimes uses them to defeat the designs of his enemies __________________________________________________________________
