JOHN—NOTE ON John 7:39 As yet the Spirit had not been given does not mean that there was no work of the Holy Spirit in the world prior to Jesus’ resurrection (see Genesis 1:2; Exodus 31:3; Numbers 11:25; Deuteronomy 34:9; Ezekiel 2:2). Rather, it means the Spirit had not been given in the full and powerful sense that was promised for the new covenant age (see Ezekiel 36:26; Joel 2:28; compare Acts 2:1).
