Officers Sent to Arrest Jesus

32 The Pharisees heard the crowd p muttering these things about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent q officers to arrest him. 33 Jesus then said, r "I will be with you a little longer, and then s I am going to him who sent me. 34 t You 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? u Does he intend to go to v the Dispersion among w the Greeks and teach the Greeks? 36 What does he mean by saying, x 'You will seek me and you will not find me,' and, 'Where I am you cannot come'?"
