shall not find me: and where I am, ye cannot come? 37 Now on the last day, the great _day_ of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and 38 drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of 39 his belly shall flow rivers of living water. But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on him were to receive: [4]for the Spirit was not yet _given_; because Jesus was not yet 40 glorified. _Some_ of the multitude therefore, when they heard 41 these words, said, This is of a truth the prophet. Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, What, doth the Christ come out 42 of Galilee? Hath not the scripture said that the Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem [_see 2 Sam. 7:12, 17; 43 Mic. 5:2_], the village where David was? So there arose a division 44 in the multitude because of him. And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him. 45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests[a] and 46 Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why did ye not bring him? The 47 officers answered, Never man so spake. The Pharisees therefore 48 answered them, Are ye also led astray? Hath any of the rulers 49 believed on him, or of the Pharisees? But this multitude which 50 knoweth not the law are accursed. Nicodemus saith unto them (he 51 that came to him before, being one of them), Doth our law judge a 52 man, except it first hear from himself and know what he doeth? They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and [5]see that out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. [Footnote 1: Gr. _demon_.] [Footnote 2: Or, _marvel because of this. Moses hath given you circumcision._] [Footnote 3: Gr. _of_.] [Footnote 4: Some ancient authorities read _for the Holy Spirit was not yet given_.] [Footnote 5: Or, _see: for out of Galilee etc._] [Footnote a: The Sanhedrin included both Sadducees (chief priests) and Pharisees. Nicodemus was a member of the Sanhedrin and a Pharisee. Now both parties in the Sanhedrin were united against Jesus and the purpose was to bring Jesus before the Sanhedrin for trial.] § 97.
