{And shall not find me} (kai ouch heur(8873)ete me). Future
active indicative of heurisk(935c). Jesus had said: "Seek and ye
shall find" ( Mt 7:7 ), but this will be too late. Now they were
seeking (verse 30 ) to kill Jesus, then they will seek
deliverance, but too late. {Where I am} (hopou eimi eg(935c)). No
conflict with verse 33 , but the essential eternal spiritual
home of Christ "in absolute, eternal being and fellowship with
the Father" (Vincent). {Ye cannot come} (humeis ou dunasthe
elthein). This fellowship was beyond the comprehension of these
hostile Jews. See the same idea in 7:36 by the Jews; 8:21 to
the Jews and then to the disciples with the addition of "now"
(arti, 13:33 ,
un in 13:36 ).
