32. The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these matters concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to seize Him.

34. “You shall seek Me and you shall not find Me, and where I am you are unable to come.”
35. The Yehuḏim, therefore, said to themselves, “Where is He about to go that we shall not find Him? Is He about to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and to teach the Greeks?
36. “What is this word which He said, ‘You shall seek Me and you shall not find Me, and where I am you are unable to come’?”
