John 7:37-39

The last day; the closing day of the feast. On this day, water from the pool of Siloam was carried with great solemnity and poured out on the altar.

Thirst; not literally, but spiritually--thirst in soul for satisfying enjoyment. Rivers of living water; a living fountain shall be opened within him, whence shall flow streams refreshing his own soul and the souls of others. Compare chap Joh 4:14. No man is at liberty to interpret the words of Christ in a literal sense, when such interpretation is shown by the sense of men to be false. Not yet given; not so fully and abundantly given as Christ foretold that he would be, and as he afterwards was.
