John 7:38 refers to the heart of Jesus: "From His Heart will flow rivers of living water."
Are there any translations which understand "his" in that sentence to refer to Jesus? From a cursory look it seems to more obviously refer to "whoever believes in me" in the previous clause.

"[38] Living water: not an exact quotation from any Old Testament passage; in the gospel context the gift of the Spirit is meant; cf ⇒ John 3:5. From within him: either Jesus or the believer; if Jesus, it continues the Jesus-Moses motif (water from the rock, ⇒ Exodus 17:6; ⇒ Numbers 20:11) as well as Jesus as the new temple (cf ⇒ Ezekiel 47:1). Grammatically, it goes better with the believer." NAB John 7:38, n.14.
