Jesus Predicts His Departure

²¹ Then He said to them again, “I’m going away;^(A) you will look for Me, and you will die in your sin.^(B) Where I’m going, you cannot come.”^(C)

²² So the Jews said again, “He won’t kill Himself, will He, since He says, ‘Where I’m going, you cannot come’^(D)?”

³³ “Children, I am with you a little while longer.^(A) You will look for Me, and just as I told the Jews, ‘Where I am going you cannot come,’^(B) so now I tell you.

Peter’s Denials Predicted

³⁶ “Lord,” Simon Peter said to Him, “where are You going?”

Jesus answered, “Where I am going^(A) you cannot follow Me now, but you will follow later.”

⁷ Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth.^(A) It is for your benefit that I go away, because if I don’t go away the Counselor will not come to you. If I go, I will send Him to you.^(B)
