Exegesis
The verse consists of two coordinated future-oriented statements linked by kai {καὶ | kaí}.
The first clause, zētēsete me kai ouch heurēsete {ζητήσετέ με καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσετε | zē-tḗ-se-te me kaí oukh heu-rḗ-se-te}, presents a parallel pair of future active indicative verbs with the same subject hymeis {ὑμεῖς | hy-meîs} understood: “you will seek” and “you will find,” with ouch {οὐχ | oukh} negating the second verb to express certain failure.
The second clause, kai hopou eimi egō, hymeis ou dynasthe elthein {καὶ ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν | kaí hó-pou ei-mí e-gṓ, hy-meîs ou dý-na-sthe el-theîn}, begins with the relative adverb hopou {ὅπου | hó-pou} introducing a locative clause “where I am,” where the finite verb eimi {εἰμὶ | ei-mí} and the emphatic subject egō {ἐγώ | e-gṓ} foreground the speaker’s personal presence.
