<p>7:39- see on Jn. 12:24,28.</p><p><i>He spoke of the Spirit, which they that believed in him were to receive. For the Spirit had not yet been received, as Jesus had not yet been glorified</i>- Some manuscripts read &quot;The Holy Spirit had not yet been received&quot;. This parallels the Spirit and the Holy Spirit- once the emphasis upon the word &quot;yet&quot; is appreciated. &quot;Ye are the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwelleth in you&quot; (1 Cor. 3:16) is matched later in the same epistle by &quot;Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you&quot; (1 Cor. 6:19). See on Rom. 8:26. No great difference can be argued between &quot;Spirit&quot; and &quot;Holy Spirit&quot;.</p><p>The Lord invites His audience right then to receive the water of the Spirit, and yet John notes that the Spirit was not then given. Clearly the Lord was speaking of future realities as if they already were. The gift of the Spirit in view was that within the human heart, within the &quot;innermost being&quot; (:38 NIV). This gift is not therefore referring to miraculous gifts. The power of internal transformation was therefore the gift of the Spirit given at the Lord's glorification. And the activity of the Spirit in transforming human minds into His mind is therefore His glorification.</p>
