John16:5

5 But now I go my way to him that sent me , and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou ?

Tho I did not tell you this from the beginging for many wise reasons; yet I now tell you, that I must die, but shall rise again from the dead, and go to my Father who sent me into the World to finish that work which I now have done, and so am returning from whence I came.

And tho indeed some of you have cursorily asked me, whither I go, (as Peter, Chap 13.36.) yet none of you seem to understand, or so seriously as you ought to inquire, whither I go, or so much to be busied in the thoughts of that.
