ST. JOHN 13, VERSE 33
Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek
me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot
come; so now I say to you.
At the time Jesus (Ppuh) was talking to his disciples, he told them
he would still be with them for a little longer before he would
be gone. Jesus (Ppuh) said that when he would go, the disciples
would still seek him such as he said to the Jews beforehand;
the place where he would be gone, the disciples also could
not follow him. That is what he said to his disciples.
When 'the little while I am with you' ends, Jesus Christ (Ppuh)
said he would go and would no longer be with his disciples,
the place where he would be then; the disciples could not
follow him and go to him.
Where was Jesus (Ppuh) going to, where the disciples
couldn't go? Was it the same place he told the Jews
beforehand?
It must be... Since Jesus (Ppuh) referred to what he said to the
Jews beforehand while he was telling this to his disciples.
Jesus (Ppuh) was talking about the same time and the same place
he mentioned to the Jews beforehand and now to his
disciples.
ST. JOHN 13, VERSES 36 - 38
36 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou?
Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow
me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards. 37 Peter
said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will
lay down my life for thy sake. 38 Jesus answered him, Wilt
thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say
unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied
me thrice.
ST. JOHN 14, VERSES 1 & 2
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe
also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions:
if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a
place for you.
When the truthful Christ told his disciples about him leaving
them in a little while, one of the disciples (his name was
Simon Peter) asked Jesus (Ppuh) where this place, of which he
spoke, was. Jesus (Ppuh) answered him and again told him, the
place where he (Jesus) would go, he (Peter) could not follow
him now, but he (Peter) would follow him to it afterwards.
Peter asked Jesus (Ppuh) why he could not follow him now. Jesus (Ppuh)
told him and the other disciples to believe in him, and not
to let their hearts be troubled, the place he (Jesus) would
go to, was up to heaven to his Father's house, where Jesus (Ppuh)
would prepare a place for Peter and the other disciples, so
they could follow him to it afterwards, not now but when
the world ends.
...Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but
thou shalt follow me afterwards.
In my Father's house ...I go to prepare a place for
you.
Jesus (Ppuh) would be gone on his way up to heaven, to the Father,
the only true God that sent him, where he could not be
followed.
Same as Jesus (Ppuh) said beforehand to the Jews.
ST. JOHN 8, VERSE 21
33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with
you, and then I go unto him that sent me. 34 Ye shall seek
me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye
cannot come.
The little while Jesus (Ppuh) told the disciples he would still be
with them; was the same 'little while' Jesus (Ppuh) told the Jews
he would be still with them. And when this little while ends,
Jesus (Ppuh) would go and would no longer be with the Jews nor
would he be with the disciples; Jesus (Ppuh) would no longer be
on earth. The place to where Jesus (Ppuh) would be gone is up to
heaven, to the only true God that sent him, where neither
the Jews nor the disciples could follow him and go to.
Jesus (Ppuh) was talking about the same time; he was talking
about the same place, to the Jews beforehand and now to
his disciples.
Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye
shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I
go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.
Now and as we discussed the time when the Jews were
seeking Jesus (Ppuh) , we need to discuss when did the disciples
seek Jesus (Ppuh)? As Jesus (Ppuh) told his disciples, they would be
seeking him too when he goes up to heaven!
...Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews,
Whither I go, ye cannot come...
Simon Peter said ... whither goest thou? Jesus
answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow
me now; ... Peter said ...why cannot I follow thee
now? ...
In my Father's house ... I go to prepare a place for
you.
When did the disciples seek Jesus (Ppuh)?

Author's Notes:
This time Jesus (Ppuh) told his disciples what he told the Jews before, taught them what God commanded him to say. Jesus (Ppuh) was not to be caught or crucified, but was to beat the world and be glorified.
