Notes

John 7:39

In the death and resurrection of Jesus, his life was given for others, and the Holy Spirit was given to believers.

When Jesus was crucified, blood and water flowed from his side (see 19:34). This event points to the gift of life that comes through his death.

After he rose from the dead, he breathed on his disciples and gave them the Holy Spirit (20:22). In this way, his life and the Spirit were poured out for his followers.

John 7:1–52

This chapter describes Jesus at the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles. Jesus used parts of the feast to reveal his true identity to his fellow Jews and to show that he had fulfilled the feast's essential meaning (see 7:37–39; 8:12).
