In his Ignatius Catholic Study Bible, Scott Hahn gives this explanation of the verse 7:37: Not a verbatim reference to any one Old Testament passage, but a summary or synthesis of at least three: (1) In Numbers 20:10-13, Yahweh quenched Israel's thirst in the wilderness by making water gush forth from a rock. (2) In Ezekiel 47:1-12, the prophet sees water streaming forth from the Temple and bringing new life everywhere it flows. (3) In Zechariah 14:8, Jerusalem of the last days is depicted as a spring of living water that flows when the Lord becomes king over the earth and the nations come to celebrate the "feast of booths" (Tabernacles) year after year (Zech 14:9, 16). these traditions point forward to Jesus: He is the rock that slakes our thirst (1 Cor 10:4), the true temple that channels life to the world (2:21), and the Lord who reigns as king over the world (12:13; 18:36).
The timing is exquisite as in St. John, chapter six, Our Blessed Lord has, at great length, explained to the apostles that He is the Living bread that came down from heaven, and His blood is drink indeed, by which they will live. Now, in chapter 7, He is in the Temple at the Feast of Booths, and is telling the people that He is the answer to all these Old Testament riddles, and foreshadowings.
