John 7:37-44 (NLT)

Jn 7:37 On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, "If you are thirsty, come to me!
Jn 7:38 If you believe in me, come and drink! For the Scriptures declare that rivers of living water will flow out from within."
Jn 7:39 (When he said "living water," he was speaking of the Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in him. But the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet entered into his glory.)
Jn 7:40 When the crowds heard him say this, some of them declared, "This man surely is the Prophet."
Jn 7:41 Others said, "He is the Messiah." Still others said, "But he can’t be! Will the Messiah come from Galilee?
Jn 7:42 For the Scriptures clearly state that the Messiah will be born of the royal line of David, in Bethlehem, the village where King David was born."
Jn 7:43 So the crowd was divided in their opinion about him.
Jn 7:44 And some wanted him arrested, but no one touched him.
