Interpretation of the Gospel of John
405
Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, "And you know me, and you know whence I come;
406
and I did not come of myself;
407
but true is He who sent Me;
408
Whom you do not know;
409
they know God, but by their deeds they deny it.
410
I know Him, because I am of Him,
411
and He sent Me
412
And they sought to seize him;
413
but no one laid hands on him;
414
for His hour has not yet come.
415
And many of the people believed in Him
416
And they said, When Christ comes, will he do more signs than this one has done?
417
The Pharisees heard such talk about Him among the people,
418
And the Pharisees and the chief priests sent ministers to seize him.
419
And Jesus said to them, "I will be with you a little longer...
420
You will seek Me, and you will not find Me;
421
and where I am, there you cannot come.
422
And the Jews said among themselves, Whither will he go, so that we shall not find him? Does He not want to go into the Hellenic diaspora and teach the Greeks? What is the meaning of these words which He said: "You will seek Me, and you will not find Me; and where I am, there you cannot come"?
