Deuteronomy 18:15 ncv Moses said:
“The Lord your God will give you a prophet like me, who is one of your own people. Listen to him (future Jesus).”

This is one of the references that Jesus was quoting, “the Scripture” that the prophecy of Moses was fulfilled when Jesus stood near the great altar where the water was poured out and Jesus’ voice rang out: “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink” (John 7:37).
Isaiah 58:11 ncv
“The Lord will always lead you. He will satisfy your needs in dry lands and give strength to your bones. you will be like a garden that has much water, like a spring that never runs dry.”
This is another reference that the prophecy was fulfilled on the day of Pentecostal, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit after so many years later. Those filled with Holy Spirit are “like a garden that has much water, like a spring that never runs dry.” Being filled with Holy Spirit at all times will never runs dry. That is awesome!
Jesus must had read or studied the Old Testament Scrolls to be able to say, “As the Scripture has said.” I am sure there are more, but this is an example of what Jesus was referring to. Searching the Scripture helps us to know what Jesus was talking about.
So trust Jesus as a Living Water to meet our need today!
