# General Information:
Some time has passed. It is now the last day of the festival and Jesus speaks to the crowd.
# great day
It is "great" because it is the last, or most important, day of the festival.
# If anyone is thirsty
Here the word "thirsty" is a metaphor that means one's great desire for the things of God, just as one "thirsts" for water. Alternate translation: "Anyone who desires the things of God like a thirsty man desires water" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
# let him come to me and drink
The word "drink" is a metaphor that means to receive the spiritual life that Jesus provides. Alternate translation: "let him come to me and quench his spiritual thirst" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
