30 So they tried to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him because his time had not yet come.31 However, many of the crowd did put their trust in him. “When the Messiah appears, will he do more miraculous signs than this man has done?” they said.32 When the Pharisees heard the crowd whispering this about him, they and the chief priests sent guards to arrest Jesus.

33 Then Jesus told the people, “I'll be with you just a little longer, but then I'll return to the one who sent me.34 You'll search for me but you won't find me; and you can't come where I'm going.”

35 The Jews said to each other, “Where could he be going that we couldn't find him? Is he planning to go to those scattered among the foreigners, and teach the foreigners?36 What does he mean by saying, ‘You'll search for me but you won't find me; and you can't come where I'm going’?”
