John 7:32-36

Common English Bible

³² The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering such things about Jesus, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent guards to arrest him.

³³ Therefore, Jesus said, “I’m still with you for a little while before I go to the one who sent me. ³⁴ You will look for me, but you won’t find me, and where I am you can’t come.”

³⁵ The Jewish opposition asked each other, “Where does he intend to go that we can’t find him? Surely he doesn’t intend to go where our people have been scattered and are living among the Greeks! He isn’t going to teach the Greeks, is he? ³⁶ What does he mean when he says, ‘You will look for me, but you won’t find me, and where I am you can’t come’?”
