35. Dixerunt ergo Iudaei ad 35. The Jews therefore said, semetipsos: Quo hic iturus among themselves: Whither will est, quia non inveniemus eum? he go, that we shall not find numquid in dispersionem him? will he go unto the gentium iturus est, et dispersed among the gentiles, docturus gentes? and teach the gentiles? 35. *The dispersed among the Gentiles*, _i.e._, the Jews scattered among the Gentiles, or more probably the Gentiles themselves (Ἑλλήνων, not Ἑλληνιστῶν) scattered over the world. The concluding words of the verse: “and teach the Gentiles” render the latter view the more probable. 36. Quis est hic sermo, quem 36. What is this saying that dixit: Quaeretis me, et non he hath said: You shall seek invenietis: et ubi sum ego, me, and shall not find me; and vos non potestis venire? where I am, you cannot come? 37. In novissimo autem die 37. And on the last _and_ magno festivitatis, stabat great day of the festivity, Iesus, et clamabat, dicens: Si Jesus stood and cried, saying: quis sitit, veniat ad me, et If any man thirst, let him bibat. come to me, and drink. 38. Qui credit in me, sicut 38. He that believeth in me, dicit scriptura, flumina de as the scripture saith, _Out ventre eius fluent aquae of his belly shall flow rivers vivae. of living water_. 37, 38. On the last day, the great day of the feast, that is, the eighth day, Jesus cried aloud to the people assembled at the temple. His words mean: If anyone thirst spiritually, let him come to Me by faith, and grace shall be abundantly poured into his soul. The words: *Out of his belly*, &c., are nowhere to be found in the Old Testament; but, as signifying the abundance of grace in the new dispensation, they convey the sense of many passages of the Old Testament. See Is. xli. 18, xliv. 3.; Ezech. xxxvi. 25; Joel ii. 28. 39. Hoc autem dixit de 39. Now this he said of the Spiritu, quem accepturi erant Spirit which they should credentes in eum: nondum enim receive who believed in him: erat Spiritus datus, quia for as yet the Spirit was not Iesus nondum erat given, because Jesus was not glorificatus. yet glorified.
