John 8:22
Douay-Rheims
The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself, because he said: Whither I go, you cannot come?
Augustine of Hippo
(Tract. xxviii) They take these words, as they generally do, in a carnal sense, and ask, Will He kill Himself, because He saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come? A foolish question. For why? Could they not go where He went, if He killed Himself? Were they never to die themselves? Whither I go, then, He says; meaning not His departure at death, but where He went after death.
