37
On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus stood up and shouted, "All who are thirsty should come to me!

38
All who believe in me should drink! As the scriptures said concerning me, Rivers of living water will flow out from within him."

Jesus said this concerning the Spirit. Those who believed in him would soon receive the Spirit, but they hadn't experienced the Spirit yet since Jesus hadn't yet been glorified.
