Yochanan 7:33

33 Therefore, he said, Yet a little time I am with you and I go away to the One having sent me.

Yochanan 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.

Yochanan 7:33 In-Context

31 From the multitude, however, many put their emunah, their bitachon, in him, and were saying, The Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, whenever he comes, surely he will not do more otot (miraculous signs) than the things which this man did?

32 The Perushim heard the telunnah (murmuring) of these things from the multitude, the talk about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and they sent the Rashei Hakohanim and the mesharetim of the Perushim that they might arrest him.

33 Therefore, he said, Yet a little time I am with you and I go away to the One having sent me.

34 You will seek me and not find me and where Ani Hu you are not able to come.

35 Therefore, those of Yehudah said to themselves, Where is this man about to journey that we will not find him? Surely he is not about to sojourn to the Golus of the Yevanim (Greeks) to teach the Yevanim? [MISHLE 1:28]
