John 7:39

The Promise Of The Spirit

³⁸ As the Scripture has recorded [Note: The following is not an exact quotation from the OT, but echoes Isa. 58:11 and Zech. 14:8], 'Streams of life-giving water will flow from the person's heart who believes in me.'" ³⁹ Now He said this about the Holy Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive [See Acts 2:38]. For [at that time] the Holy Spirit had not yet been given, since Jesus had not yet received splendor [in heaven]. ⁴⁰ When they heard these words some people in the crowd said, "Truly, this man is the prophet." [See note on 1:21].
