João 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.

João 7:33 In-Context

31 Contudo muitos da multidão creram nele, e diziam: Será que o Cristo, quando vier, fará mais sinais do que este tem feito?
32 Os fariseus ouviram a multidão murmurar estas coisas a respeito dele; e os principais sacerdotes e os fariseus mandaram guardas para o prenderem.
33 Disse, pois, Jesus: Ainda um pouco de tempo estou convosco, e depois vou para aquele que me enviou.
34 Vós me buscareis, e não me achareis; e onde eu estou, vós não podeis vir.
35 Disseram, pois, os judeus uns aos outros: Para onde irá ele, que não o acharemos? Irá, porventura, � Dispersão entre os gregos, e ensinará os gregos?
