'Going' in the Bible

Then he told him, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, you will see heaven standing open and the angels of God going up and coming down to the Son of Man."

The Jewish leaders said, "This sanctuary has been under construction for 46 years, and you're going to rebuild it in three days?"

The wind blows where it wants to. You hear its sound, but you don't know where it comes from or where it is going. That's the way it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."

so they went to John and told him, "Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the one about whom you testified look, he's baptizing, and everyone is going to him!"

The woman told him, "Sir, you don't have a bucket, and the well is deep. Where are you going to get this living water?

Jesus said this to test him, because he himself knew what he was going to do.

So they were glad to take him on board, and immediately the boat reached the land toward which they were going.

So they asked him, "What sign are you going to do so that we may see it and believe in you? What actions are you performing?

What if you saw the Son of Man going up to the place where he was before?

Now he was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, because this man was going to betray him, even though he was one of the Twelve.

since no one acts in secret if he wants to be known publicly. If you're going to do these things, you should reveal yourself to the world!"

Go up to the festival yourselves. I am not going to this festival yet, because my time hasn't fully come yet."

Then Jesus said, "I'll be with you only a little while longer, and then I'm going back to the one who sent me.

Then the Jewish leaders asked one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we won't be able to find him? Surely he's not going to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is he?

Jesus answered them, "Even though I'm testifying about myself, my testimony is valid because I know where I've come from and where I'm going. But you don't know where I come from or where I'm going.

Later on, he told them again, "I'm going away, and you'll look for me, but you will die in your sin. You cannot come where I'm going."

So the Jewish leaders were asking, "He isn't going to kill himself, is he? Is that why he said, "You cannot come where I'm going'?"

So the Jewish leaders surrounded him and quizzed him, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you're the Messiah, tell us so plainly."

Jesus replied to them, "I've shown you many good actions from my Father. For which of them are you going to stone me?"

The Jewish leaders answered him, "We are not going to stone you for a good action, but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, are making yourself God!"

The disciples told him, "Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just now trying to stone you to death, and you are going back there again?"

So the high priests and the Pharisees assembled the Council and said, "What are we going to do? This man is performing many signs.

But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was going to betray him, asked,

The crowd was going out to meet Jesus because they had heard that he had performed this sign.

Jesus replied to the crowd, "The light is among you only for a short time. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. The person who walks in the darkness is in the darkness and does not know where he is going.

Then he came to Simon Peter, who asked him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"

For he knew who was going to betray him. That's why he said, "Not all of you are clean."

After saying this, Jesus was deeply troubled in spirit and declared solemnly, "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, one of you is going to betray me!"

Then he took a piece of bread, dipped it, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. After he had taken the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus told him, "Do quickly what you are going to do!"

Little children, I'm with you only a little longer. You will look for me, but what I told the Jewish leaders I now tell you, "Where I'm going, you cannot come.'

Simon Peter asked him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered him, "I'm going where you cannot follow me now, though you will follow me later on."

There are many rooms in my Father's house. If there weren't, I wouldn't have told you that I am going away to prepare a place for you, would I?

And since I'm going away to prepare a place for you, I'll come back again and welcome you into my presence, so that you may be where I am.

You know where I am going, and you know the way."

Thomas asked him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"

Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, the one who believes in me will also do what I'm doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I'm going to the Father.

I'm not going to forsake you like orphans. I will come back to you.

Judas (not Iscariot) asked him, "Lord, how is it that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?"

You have heard me tell you, "I'm going away, but I'm coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would rejoice that I'm going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am.

"But now I am going to the one who sent me. Yet none of you asks me, "Where are you going?'

However, I'm telling you the truth. It's for your advantage that I'm going away, because if I don't go away, the Helper won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

of righteousness, because I'm going to the Father and you will no longer see me;

At this point, some of his disciples asked each other, "What does he mean by telling us, "In a little while you will no longer see me, then in a little while you will see me again,' and, "because I am going to the Father'?"

I left the Father and came into the world. Now I'm leaving the world and going back to the Father."

Then Jesus, knowing everything that was going to happen, went forward and asked them, "Who are you looking for?"

So Pilate asked him, "Aren't you going to speak to me? You realize, don't you, that I have the authority to release you and the authority to crucify you?"

Simon Peter told them, "I'm going fishing." They all told him, "We'll go with you, too." So they went out and got into the boat but didn't catch a thing that night.

Peter turned around and noticed the disciple whom Jesus kept loving following them. He was the one who had put his head on Jesus' chest at the supper and had asked, "Lord, who is the one who is going to betray you?"

So the rumor spread among the brothers that this disciple wasn't going to die. Yet Jesus didn't say to Peter that he wasn't going to die, but, "If it's my will for him to remain until I come back, how does that concern you?"
