John 7:34
And shall not find me ( κα ουχ ευρησετε με ). Future active indicative of ευρισκω. 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 ( οπου ειμ εγω ). 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 ( υμεις ου δυνασθε ελθειν ). 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" ( αρτ, 13:33, νυν in 13:36).
