Exegesis
Direct speech with Pou hypageis {Ποῦ ὑπάγεις | Poû hypágeis} “Where are you going?” makes explicit the question that should be asked but is not, underscoring the disciples’ preoccupation with loss rather than understanding Jesus’ mission. In English, the clause order is adjusted to natural idiom (“none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’”) while preserving the emphasis on Jesus’ purposeful going and the disciples’ silence.
In context — John 16:5
But now I am going to the One who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, “Where are You going?”
