Juan 7:33

33 Y Jesús dijo: Aun un poco de tiempo estaré con vosotros, é iré al que me envió.

Juan 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.

Juan 7:33 In-Context

31 Y muchos del pueblo creyeron en él, y decían: El Cristo, cuando viniere, ¿hará más señales que las que éste hace?

32 Los Fariseos oyeron á la gente que murmuraba de él estas cosas; y los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los Fariseos enviaron servidores que le prendiesen.

33 Y Jesús dijo: Aun un poco de tiempo estaré con vosotros, é iré al que me envió.

34 Me buscaréis, y no me hallaréis; y donde yo estaré, vosotros no podréis venir.

35 Entonces los Judíos dijeron entre sí: ¿A dónde se ha de ir éste que no le hallemos? ¿Se ha de ir á los esparcidos entre los Griegos, y á enseñar á los Griegos?
