[37]On the last day of the festival, the great day, while Jesus was standing there, he cried out, "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, [38]and let the one who believes in me drink. As the scripture has said, 'Out of the believer's heart shall flow rivers of living water.'" [39]Now he said this about the Spirit, which believers in him were to receive; for as yet there was no Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
[40]When they heard these words, some in the crowd said, "This is really the prophet." [41]Others said, "This is the Messiah." But some asked, "Surely the Messiah does not come from Galilee, does he? [42]Has not the scripture said that the Messiah is descended from David and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?" [43]So there was a division in the crowd because of him. [44]Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.
[45]Then the temple police went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, "Why did you not arrest him?" [46]The police answered, "Never has anyone spoken like this!" [47]Then the Pharisees replied, "Surely you have not been deceived too, have you? [48]Has any one of the authorities or of the Pharisees believed in him? [49]But this crowd, which does not know the law -
they are accursed." [50]Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus before, and who was one of them, asked, [51]"Our law does not judge people without first giving
them a hearing to find out what they are doing, does it?" [52]They replied,
"Surely you are not also from Galilee, are you? Search and you will see that
no prophet is to arise from Galilee."
