This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

And shall not find me (kai ouch heurēsete me). Future active indicative of heuriskō. Jesus had said: “Seek and ye shall find” (Mat 7:7), but this will be too late. Now they were seeking (Joh 7:30) to kill Jesus, then they will seek deliverance, but too late.

Where I am (hopou eimi egō). No conflict with Joh 7:33, but the essential eternal spiritual home of Christ “in absolute, eternal being and fellowship with the Father” (Vincent).

Ye cannot come (humeis ou dunasthe elthein). This fellowship was beyond the comprehension of these hostile Jews. See the same idea in Joh 7:36 by the Jews; Joh 8:21 to the Jews and then to the disciples with the addition of “now” (arti, Joh 13:33, nun in Joh 13:36).
