Abanye abalalele uJesu efundisa bathi: “Lo nguye umPhrofethi sibili.” Kusegcekeni ukuthi batsho umphrofethi omkhulu kuloMosi okwakukhulunyiwe ukuthi uzakuba khona. Abanye bathi: “Lo nguKhristu,” kodwa abanye bathi: “Angithi uKhristu kaveli eGalile? Kanti umbhalo kawutsho yini ukuthi uKhristu uzavela enzalweni kaDavida, eBhethilehema, isigaba uDavida ayekuso?”​—UJohane 7:40-42.

IMibhalo kayikuvezi egcekeni ukuthi kuzakuba lomphrofethi ovela eGalile. Loba kunjalo, iLizwi likaNkulunkulu latshengisa ukuthi uKhristu wayezavela khona ngoba laphrofetha ‘ngokukhanya okukhulu’ okwakuzabonakala ‘eGalile yabezizweni.’ (U-Isaya 9:1, 2; UMathewu 4:13-17) Kanti njalo uJesu wazalelwa eBhethilehema njalo uyinzalo kaDavida njengoba kwaphrofethwa. Lanxa abaFarisi bekwazi konke lokhu, kungenzeka yibo abasakaza izinto ezinengi ezingaqondanga ezimayelana loJesu.
