John 7:38

38 whoever believes in me, just as Scripture says, ‘From his chest shall flow rivers of living water.’ ” ^{▼▼7:38The word ‘ventre’ is a general term in Latin used to refer to the inner organs, or the inner parts of the body. It is used metaphorically in many instances. It can be properly translated as ‘belly’ or ‘heart’ or ‘inner self’ or ‘chest.’ In this case, the living waters that flow from Christ’s chest, flow from the wound in his side. This event is a living symbol of the graces that flow from the Sacraments.(Conte)}
