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 Ma molti della folla credettero in lui, e dicevano: Quando il Cristo sarà venuto, farà egli più miracoli che questi non abbia fatto?

32 I Farisei udirono la moltitudine mormorare queste cose di lui; e i capi sacerdoti e i Farisei mandarono delle guardie a pigliarlo.

33 Perciò Gesù disse loro: Io sono ancora con voi per poco 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 potete venire.

35 Perciò i Giudei dissero fra loro: Dove dunque andrà egli che noi non lo troveremo? Andrà forse a quelli che son dispersi fra i Greci, ad ammaestrare i Greci?
