## John 7:40-41 in Context (Verses 37–44 KJV)
 
 [37 ](/kjv/john/7/37) In the last day, that great *day* of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
 
 [38 ](/kjv/john/7/38) He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
 
 [39 ](/kjv/john/7/39) (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet *given*; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
 
 [40 ](/kjv/john/7/40) ¶ Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
 
 [41 ](/kjv/john/7/41) Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
 
 [42 ](/kjv/john/7/42) Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
 
 [43 ](/kjv/john/7/43) So there was a division among the people because of him.
 
 [44 ](/kjv/john/7/44) And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
