Juan 7:34

34 Ustedes me buscarán pero no me encontrarán; y no pueden ir adonde yo voy».

Juan 7:34 Meaning and Commentary

John 7:34

Ye shall seek me
That is, the Messiah, who he was; meaning, that after his departure they should be in great distress, and be very much on the inquiry after, and solicitous for the coming of the Messiah, to be a Redeemer and Deliverer of them out of their troubles:

and shall not find [me];
no Messiah will appear, no Saviour will be sent, no Redeemer will come to relieve them; they shall inquire, and look for one in vain, as they did.

And where I am, [thither] ye cannot come;
intimating hereby, that not only their temporal estate and condition would be very distressed and miserable, but also their eternal estate; since they should not be able to come where he would be in his human nature, and where he now was as a divine person, namely, in heaven.

Juan 7:34 In-Context

32 Cuando los fariseos se enteraron de lo que las multitudes andaban murmurando, ellos y los principales sacerdotes enviaron guardias del templo para arrestar a Jesús.

33 Entonces Jesús les dijo:

34 Ustedes me buscarán pero no me encontrarán; y no pueden ir adonde yo voy».

35 Desconcertados por esas palabras, los líderes judíos se preguntaban: «¿Adónde pensará ir? ¿Estará pensando salir del país e ir a los judíos dispersos en otras tierras?
¡Tal vez hasta les enseñe a los griegos!

36 ¿A qué se refiere cuando dice: “Me buscarán pero no me encontrarán” y “no pueden ir adonde yo voy”?».
