John 7:32

30 So they tried to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

31 Many in the crowd, however, believed in Him and said, “When the Christ comes, will He perform more signs than this man?”

When the Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things about Jesus, they and the chief priests sent officers to arrest Him.

33 So Jesus said, “I am with you only a little while longer, and then I am going to the One who sent Me.

34 You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”
