Rivers of Living Water

37 ^yOn the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, ^z“If anyone thirsts, let him ^acome to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, ^bas¹ the Scripture has said, ^c‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of ^dliving water.’” 39 Now ^ethis he said about the Spirit, ^fwhom those who believed in him were to receive, ^gfor as yet the Spirit had not been ^hgiven, ⁱbecause Jesus was not yet glorified.

Division Among the People

40 When they heard these words, ^jsome of the people said, “This really is ^kthe Prophet.” 41 Others said, “This is ^lthe Christ.” But some said, ^m“Is the Christ to come from Galilee? 42 Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes ⁿfrom the offspring of David, and comes ^ofrom Bethlehem, the village ^pwhere David was?” 43 So there was ^qa division among the people over him. 44 ^rSome of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.

45 ^sThe officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why did you not bring him?” 46 The officers answered, ^t“No one ever spoke like this man!” 47 The Pharisees answered them, ^u“Have you also been deceived? 48 ^vHave any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in him? 49 But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed.” 50 ^wNicodemus, who had gone to him before, and who was one of them, said to them, 51 ^x“Does our law judge a man without first ^ygiving him a hearing and learning what he does?” 52 They replied, ^z“Are you from Galilee too? Search and see that ^ano prophet arises from Galilee.”

The Coming of the Holy Spirit

1 When ^fthe day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like ^ga mighty rushing wind, and ^hit filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And divided tongues ⁱas of fire appeared to them and rested¹ on each one of them. 4 And they were all ^jfilled with the Holy Spirit and began ^kto speak in other tongues ^las the Spirit gave them utterance.

5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. 6 And ^mat this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language.
