John 7:32-36

Officers Sent to Arrest Jesus

32 The Pharisees heard the crowd ¹muttering these things about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent ²officers to arrest him.

33 Jesus then said, ³"I will be with you a little longer, and then ⁴I am going to him who sent me.

34 ⁵You will seek me and you will not find me. Where I am you cannot come."

35 The Jews said to one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we will not find him? ⁶Does he intend to go to ⁷the Dispersion among ⁸the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

36 What does he mean by saying, ⁹'You will seek me and you will not find me,' and, 'Where I am you cannot come'?"
