John 7:37-39

7:37

On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.

7:38

Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him."

7:39

By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.

Ezekiel

47:1

The man brought me back to the entrance of the temple, and I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar.

47:2

He then brought me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and the water was flowing from the south side.

47:3

As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits and then led me through water that was ankle-deep.

47:4

He measured off another thousand cubits and led me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another thousand and led me through water that was up to the waist.

47:5

He measured off another thousand, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in—a river that no one could cross.

47:6

He asked me, "Son of man, do you see this?" Then he led me back to the bank of the river.

47:7

When I arrived there, I saw a great number of trees on each side of the river.

47:8

He said to me, "This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, where it enters the Sea. When it empties into the Sea, the water there becomes fresh.

47:9

Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live.

47:10

Fishermen will stand along the shore; from En Gedi to En Eglaim there will be places for spreading nets. The fish will be of many kinds—like the fish of the Great Sea .

47:11

But the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt.

47:12

Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing."

1 Samuel

16:7

But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

Psalms

42:1

(For the director of music. A maskil of the Sons of Korah.) As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God.

42:2

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?

Psalms

63:1

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. 

63:2

I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.

63:3

Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.

63:4

I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.

Genesis

1:27

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

John

10:10

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

3 John

1:2

Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.

John

4:14

but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

1 Corinthians

3:16

Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?

3:17

If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple.
