JOHN VII. 87.

Ἐν δὲ τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ μεγάλη τῆς ἑορτῆς εἱστήκει ὁ Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἔκραξε, λεγων· Εάν τίς διψᾷ, ἐρχέσθω πρός με, καὶ πινέτω.

a In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, b If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

a Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath, Lev. xxiii. 39.

b My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God when shall I come and appear before God? Psal. xlii. 2. I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah, cxliii. 6. For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring, Isa. xliv. 3. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GoD, that I will send a famine in the land; not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it. In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst, Amos viii. 11-13.

Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water, John iv. 10. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life, v. 40. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. For with thee is the fountain of life in thy light shall we see light, Psal. xxxvi. 8, 9. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalt

ed. Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth. Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee, Isa. xii. 3-6. When the is none, and their tongue faileth for poor and needy seek water, and there thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I

the God of Israel will not forsake them. I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water, xli. 17, 18. Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money, and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread, and your labour for that which satisfieth not? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Incline your ear, and come unto me hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David, li. 1-3. The LORD of Hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with slingstones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar. And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land. For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids, Zech. ix. 15—17. And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem, half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea in summer and in winter shall it be, xiv. 8. Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light, Matt. xi. 28-30. And did all drink the same spiritual drink; for they drank of that spiritual Rock,

And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. 1 will give unto him that is athirst, of the fountain of the water of life freely, Rev. xxi. 6. And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, xxii. 1. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely, 17.
