The Promise Of The Spirit
37 Now the last day, that the great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and cried in a loud voice. 38 "If any man thirst let him come to me and drink. From the heart of him who believes in me will flow, as the Scripture said, rivers of living water." 39 Now he said this concerning the Spirit whom those who believed in him should receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
