7:37 On the last day of the feast, the greatest day, 1 Jesus stood up and shouted out, 2 “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, and 7:38 let the one who believes in me drink. 3 Just as the scripture says, ‘From within him 4 will flow rivers of living water.’” 5 7:39 (Now he said this about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were going to receive, for the Spirit had not yet been given, 6 because Jesus was not yet glorified.) 7
7:40 When they heard these words, some of the crowd 8 began to say, “This really 9 is the Prophet!” 10 7:41 Others said, “This is the Christ!” 11 But still others said, “No, 12 for the Christ doesn’t come from Galilee, does he? 13 7:42 Don’t the scriptures say that the Christ is a descendant 14 of David 15 and comes from Bethlehem, 16 the village where David lived?” 17 7:43 So there was a division in the crowd 18 because of Jesus. 19 7:44 Some of them were wanting to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him. 20
