John
7
37
On the last day of the feast, the greatest day, Jesus stood up and shouted out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, and
38
let the one who believes in me drink. Just as the scripture says, 'From within him will flow rivers of living water.'"
39
(Now he said this about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were going to receive, for the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40
When they heard these words, some of the crowd began to say, "This really is the Prophet!"
41
Others said, "This is the Christ!" But still others said, "No, for the Christ doesn't come from Galilee, does he?
42
Don't the scriptures say that the Christ is a descendant of David and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?"
43
So there was a division in the crowd because of Jesus.
44
Some of them were wanting to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.
45
Then the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why didn't you bring him back with you?"
46
The officers replied, "No one ever spoke like this man!"
47
Then the Pharisees answered, "You haven't been deceived too, have you?
48
None of the rulers or the Pharisees have believed in him, have they?
49
But this rabble who do not know the law are accursed!"
50
Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus before and who was one of the rulers, said,
51
"Our law doesn't condemn a man unless it first hears from him and learns what he is doing, does it?"
52
They replied, "You aren't from Galilee too, are you? Investigate carefully and you will see that no prophet comes from Galilee!"
53
And each one departed to his own house.
