A reading from the holy gospel according to John
On the last and most important day of the festival Jesus stood up and said in a loud voice, “Whoever is thirsty should come to me, and whoever believes in me should drink. As the scripture says, ‘Streams of life-giving water will pour out from his side.’” Jesus said this about the Spirit, which those who believed in him were going to receive. At that time the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not been raised to glory.
EVANGILE DE JESUS CHRIST SELON ST. JEAN
Le dernier jour, le grand jour de la fête, Jésus, se tenant debout, s’écria: Si quelqu’un a soif, qu’il vienne à moi, et qu’il boive. Celui qui croit en moi, des fleuves d’eau vive couleront de son sein, comme dit l’Écriture. Il dit cela de l’Esprit que devaient recevoir ceux qui croiraient en lui; car l’Esprit n’était pas encore, parce que Jésus n’avait pas encore été glorifié.
