Enoch’s Book of Scriptures

John 7:38 ‘Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”’
Jesus quoting Book of Enoch and calling it “Scripture”? Wikipedia says so.

Anyone know where this saying is found in the Book of Enoch? If so it means Jesus taught that the Book of Enoch is Scripture.

Enoch 48:1 In that place I beheld a fountain of righteousness, which never failed, encircled by many springs of wisdom. Of these all the thirsty drank, and were filled with wisdom, having their habitation with the righteous, the elect, and the holy.” John 7:38 is probably Jesus quoting not just Enoch 48:1 but all of Enoch 49 too

Book of Enoch 49

l. For wisdom is poured out like water,
And glory faileth not before him for evermore.

2. For he is mighty in all the secrets of righteousness,
And unrighteousness shall disappear as a shadow,
And have no continuance;
Because the Elect One standeth before the Lord of Spirits,
And his glory is for ever and ever,
And his might unto all generations. p. 68

3. And in him dwells the spirit of wisdom,
And the spirit which gives insight,
And the spirit of understanding and of might,
And the spirit of those who have fallen asleep in righteousness.

4. And he shall judge the secret things,
And none shall be able to utter a lying word before him;

For he is the Elect One before the Lord of Spirits according to His good pleasure.
