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?”
43 So athere was a division among the people because of Him.
44 Now asome of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
Rejected by the Authorities
45 Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why have you not brought Him?”
46 The officers answered, a“No man ever spoke like this Man!”
47 Then the Pharisees answered them, “Are you also deceived?
48 Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in Him?
49 But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed.”
50 Nicodemus a(he who came to Jesus by night, being one of them) said to them,
51 a“Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?”
52 They answered and said to him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and look, for ano prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”
