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. Just as the scripture said, 'Out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.'"
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], because Jesus had not yet been glorified.)
[a].
An alternative punctuation of vv. 37-38 reads: "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and let him drink. 38 The one who believes in me, just as the scripture said, 'Out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.'"
[b].
A quotation from the Old Testament of uncertain origin; texts most often suggested are Isa 44:3; 55:1; 58:11; Zech 14:8
[c].
A few manuscripts supply the participle "given" here; while it is unlikely this represents the original reading, many English versions nevertheless supply "given" to avoid the impression that the Spirit did not exist prior to this point
