The Promise of the Spirit
37 Now on the last day of the feast—the great day—Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, and let him drink, 38 the one who believes in me.[a] Just as the scripture said, ‘Out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.’”[b] 39 Now he said this concerning the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were about to receive. For the Spirit was not yet given,[c] because Jesus had not yet been glorified.)
