37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. |
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. |
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) |
40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. |
41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? |
42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? |
43 So there was a division among the people because of him. |
44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him. |
45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? |
46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. |
47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? |
48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? |
49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. |
50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) |
51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? |
52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. |
