ACC ~ John 7 v32 - 33

JESUS PREDICTS HIS RESURRECTION AND ASCENSION

THEODORE OF MOPSUESTIA: Why, he says, are you eager to arrest me, and why do you try to do something that is not in your power? Just wait a little bit, and I will give myself over to you. Indeed, after my death, I go to my Father, and by directing myself to him, I will certainly withdraw from you. And I will be exalted over you so that, even though you look for me, you may not find me. And even though you want to, you cannot come to where I am because I will be exalted over you in glory and honor. But the Jews did not understand a single word of this. And this is not surprising, because not even the disciples, as we have already demonstrated many times, could understand the words that were said at that time. At the end they learned these things from the facts. COMMENTARY ON JOHN 3.7.33-34. [1]
