- What did he mean when he said, 'You will look for me, but you will not find me,' and 'Where I am, you cannot come'?"
- On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.
- Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him."
- By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.
- On hearing his words, some of the people said, "Surely this man is the Prophet."

- "What is this statement that He said, 'You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come'?"
- Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.
- "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'"
- But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
- Some of the people therefore, when they heard these words, were saying, "This certainly is the Prophet."
