I do not know how well known this is, but I thank God for opening personally my mind to a certain part of the Gospel I never fully understood. Or at least I hope so. As you probably know there are various parts in the Gospel of John where Jesus reveals that “I AM”.
In John 7:32-34 it says
6:32 The Pharisees heard the crowd thus muttering about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
6:33 Jesus then said, “I shall be with you a little longer, and then I go to him who sent me;
6:34 you will seek me and you will not find me; where **I am **you cannot come.”
I noticed while reading my New Jerusalem Bible first and then checked two others (RSV-CE and Douay-Rheims) and they all say
“where **I am **you cannot come”.
If Jesus was not God, I would think He would say, "where I go or where “I will be going” etc. you cannot come.
In my opinion, Jesus was saying He was and is part of God, not that He would be going to God. I think that this passage is more proof of the divinity of Christ.
Do you understand my point?
I wasnt feeling the best at the time also probably a bit spiritually dry, so I’m happy to have read deeper in the passage. I received comfort from God. Is this passage interpretation new to anyone? 
I wouldnt and couldn’t have realised this meaning on my own. I have been Catholic all my life, but nothing I love finding the proof in the truths of our faith.
If you are a skeptic of Christ please read the passage and the rest of the Gospel of John.
