John 7:37-52; 8:12 (Gospel)
37 |
On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. |
38 |
He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. |
39 |
But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. |
40 |
Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, "Truly this is the Prophet." |
41 |
Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "Will the Christ come out of Galilee? |
42 |
Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was? |
43 |
So there was a division among the people because of Him. |
44 |
Now some of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him. |
45 |
Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why have you not brought Him?" |
46 |
The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this Man!" |
47 |
Then the Pharisees answered them, "Are you also deceived? |
48 |
Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in Him? |
49 |
But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed. |
50 |
Nicodemus (he who came to Jesus by night, being one of them) said to them, |
51 |
Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing? |
52 |
They answered and said to him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search and look, for no prophet has arisen out of Galilee." |
12 |
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." |
