Compare all
35 Then the Jews said among themselves, “Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him? Does He intend to go to athe Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?  
36 What is this thing that He said, ‘You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come’?”

The Promise of the Holy Spirit

37 aOn the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, b“If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.  
38 aHe who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, bout of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”  
39 aBut this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those1 believing in Him would receive; for the2 Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet bglorified.  

Who Is He?

40 Therefore1 many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, “Truly this is athe Prophet.”  
41 Others said, “This is athe Christ.” But some said, “Will the Christ come out of Galilee?  
42 aHas not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, bwhere David was?”

John 7:37

John 7:37 In the last day. Probably the eighth day, possibly the seventh. The eighth was a day of holy rest added to the seven days of the feast. If any man thirsteth, let him, etc. Jewish writers say that water was brought every day of the feast in a golden pitcher from the pool of Siloam and poured upon the altar. It is thought that it was when this water was poured out that Jesus cried out, and pointed to the living water.
