John 7:32-36

Christian Standard Bible

³² The Pharisees^(A) heard the crowd murmuring these things about him, and so the chief priests^(B) and the Pharisees sent servants^[a] to arrest him.

³³ Then Jesus said, “I am only with you for a short time.^(C) Then I’m going to the one who sent me.^{(D) 34} You will look for me, but you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come.”^(E)

³⁵ Then the Jews^(F) said to one another, “Where does he intend to go that we won’t find him? He doesn’t intend to go to the Jewish people dispersed^[b](G) among the Greeks^(H) and teach the Greeks, does he? ³⁶ What is this remark he made: ‘You will look for me, and you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come’^(I)?”
