John 7:32-39

English Standard Version

Officers Sent to Arrest Jesus

³²The Pharisees heard the crowd ^(A)muttering these things about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent ^(B)officers to arrest him. ³³Jesus then said, ^(C)“I will be with you a little longer, and then ^(D)I am going to him who sent me. ³⁴^(E)You will seek me and you will not find me. Where I am you cannot come.” ³⁵The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we will not find him? ^(F)Does he intend to go to ^(G)the Dispersion among ^(H)the Greeks and teach the Greeks? ³⁶What does he mean by saying, ^(I)‘You will seek me and you will not find me,’ and, ‘Where I am you cannot come’?”

Rivers of Living Water

³⁷^(J)On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, ^(K)“If anyone thirsts, let him ^(L)come to me and drink. ³⁸Whoever believes in me, ^(M)as^[a] the Scripture has said, ^(N)‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of ^(O)living water.’” ³⁹Now ^(P)this he said about the Spirit, ^(Q)whom those who believed in him were to receive, ^(R)for as yet the Spirit had not been ^(S)given, ^(T)because Jesus was not yet glorified.
