“He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”
John 7:38 (KJV)
Commentary on John 7:38
Christ quotes Scripture (likely Isaiah 58:11 or Proverbs 18:4), though no exact OT match exists, suggesting a general theme rather than specific text. 'Believeth on me' makes Christ the object of faith, a claim to deity. 'Rivers of living water' (plural, abundant) contrasts with the woman at the well's request (4:15). The believer becomes a source, not just recipient—Christ's life flows through us to bless others.
