John 7:37-49

³⁷Now on the last and most important day of the Feast, Jesus stood up and called out saying: “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.

³⁸The one believing into me, just as the Scripture has said, out from his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.”

³⁹(Now He said this about the Spirit, whom those believing into Him were going to receive, in that the Holy Spirit had not yet been given because Jesus had not yet been glorified.)

⁴⁰So upon hearing this word many from the crowd began to say, “This One really is ‘the Prophet’!”

⁴¹Others were saying, “This One is the Christ!” Others were saying: “Surely the Christ isn't coming out of Galilee, is He?

⁴²Doesn't the Scripture say that the Christ comes out of the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?”

⁴³So there developed a division in the crowd because of Him.

⁴⁴Further, some of them were wanting to arrest Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.

⁴⁵Then the operatives came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why haven't you brought him?”

⁴⁶The operatives answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

⁴⁷So the Pharisees answered them: “You haven't been fooled too, have you?

⁴⁸None of the rulers or the Pharisees have believed into him, have they?

⁴⁹But this crowd that doesn't know the law is accursed!”
