33 Perciò Gesù disse loro: Io son con voi ancora un poco di tempo: poi me ne vo a colui che mi ha mandato.

Giovanni 7:33 Meaning and Commentary

John 7:33

Then said Jesus unto them
To the officers that were sent to take him, and other unbelieving Jews that were about him:

yet a little while am I with you;
no longer than till the next passover, which was but about half a year at most: this he might say, partly to quicken the attention of the people to him, to make the best use and improvement of his ministry whilst they had it, since in a little time he would be removed from them; and partly to suggest to the officers that were sent to take him, that they, and their masters, need not have given themselves that trouble, for in a short time he should be gone from them, and till that time he should continue in spite of them.

And [then] I go unto him that sent me;
still confirming his mission from God, expressing his death by going, and as being voluntary, and signifying his glory and happiness after it.

Giovanni 7:33 In-Context

31 E molti della moltitudine credettero in lui, e dicevano: Il Cristo, quando sarà venuto, farà egli più segni che costui non ha fatti?

32 I Farisei udirono la moltitudine che bisbigliava queste cose di lui; e i Farisei, e i principali sacerdoti, mandarono de’ sergenti per pigliarlo.

33 Perciò Gesù disse loro: Io son con voi ancora un poco di tempo: poi me ne vo a colui che mi ha mandato.

34 Voi mi cercherete, e non mi troverete; e dove io sarò, voi non potrete venire.

35 Laonde i Giudei dissero fra loro: Dove andrà costui, che noi nol troveremo? andrà egli a coloro che son dispersi fra i Greci, ad insegnare i Greci?
