The Scriptures 1998

John 7:36-45 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

36. “What is this word which He said, ‘You shall seek Me and you shall not find Me, and where I am you are unable to come’?”

37. And on the last day, the great day of the festival, יהושע stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me, and let him who believes in Me drink.

38. “As the Scripture said, out of His innermost shall flow rivers of living water.”

39. And this He said concerning the Spirit, which those believing in Him were about to receive, for the Set-apart Spirit was not yet given, because יהושע was not yet esteemed.

40. Many from the crowd, when they heard the word, then said, “This truly is the Prophet.”

41. Others said, “This is the Messiah,” but others said, “Does the Messiah then come out of Galil?

42. “Did not the Scripture say that the Messiah comes from the seed of Dawiḏ and from the village of Bĕyth Leḥem, where Dawiḏ was?”

43. So a division came about among the people because of Him.

44. And some of them wished to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him.

45. The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees. And they said to them, “Why did you not bring Him?”
