part of the Women’s Court where these chests stood, or, more probably, an adjoining apartment used in connection with them, perhaps where the money was kept, was also designated the treasury, and it is this apartment that is indicated by the word here.--=For his hour was not yet come.= See ch. 7:30, note. 21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye[322] shall seek me, and[323] shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye[324] cannot come. [322] ch. 7:34. [323] Job 20:11; Ps. 73:18-20; Prov. 14:32; Isa. 65:20; Ephes. 2:1. [324] Luke 16:28. =21. I go away.= Not _my way_, a translation for which there is no authority whatever in the original.--=And ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins.= _In your sins_ means not, _by reason of your sins_, but, _while continuing in a state of sin_. This verse is not to be taken as an evidence that a sincere and contrite seeking of Christ as a pardoning and redeeming Saviour will ever be in vain. It is interpreted by many a so-called death-bed repentance, in which deliverance from a future penalty is sought, without any real contrition of heart for past sins. But, coupled with the next clause, it seems to me strongly opposed to the doctrine of a universal restitution.--=Whither I go ye cannot come.= Compare ch. 7:34, “Ye shall seek me and shall not find me; and where I am, thither ye cannot come,” and contrast ch. 14:3, “I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also.” See also ch. 17:24. 22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. 23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 I said[325] therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for[326] if ye believe not that I am _he_, ye shall die in your sins. [325] verse 21. [326] Mark 16:16.
