John 7:32-38

Christian Standard Bible

³² The Pharisees^(A) heard the crowd murmuring these things about him, and so the chief priests^(B) and the Pharisees sent servants^[a] to arrest him.

³³ Then Jesus said, “I am only with you for a short time.^(C) Then I’m going to the one who sent me.^{(D) 34} You will look for me, but you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come.”^(E)

³⁵ Then the Jews^(F) said to one another, “Where does he intend to go that we won’t find him? He doesn’t intend to go to the Jewish people dispersed^[b](G) among the Greeks^(H) and teach the Greeks, does he? ³⁶ What is this remark he made: ‘You will look for me, and you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come’^(I)?”

The Promise of the Spirit

³⁷ On the last and most important day of the festival,^(J) Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me^[c](K) and drink.^{(L) 38} The one who believes in me,^(M) as the Scripture^(N) has said, will have streams of living water^(O) flow^(P) from deep within him.”
