Listen to John 7:37-39

Rivers of Living Water

37 1On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, 2“If anyone thirsts, let him 3come to me and drink.
38 Whoever believes in me, 4as[a] the Scripture has said, 5‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of 6living water. ’”
39 Now 7this he said about the Spirit, 8whom those who believed in him were to receive, 9for as yet the Spirit had not been 10given, 11because Jesus was not yet glorified.
