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 De las multitudes presentes en el templo, muchos creyeron en él. «Después de todo —decían—, ¿acaso esperan que el Mesías haga más señales milagrosas que las que hizo este hombre?».

32 Cuando los fariseos se enteraron de lo que las multitudes andaban murmurando, ellos y los principales sacerdotes enviaron guardias del templo para arrestar a Jesús.

33 Entonces Jesús les dijo:

34 Ustedes me buscarán pero no me encontrarán; y no pueden ir adonde yo voy».

35 Desconcertados por esas palabras, los líderes judíos se preguntaban: «¿Adónde pensará ir? ¿Estará pensando salir del país e ir a los judíos dispersos en otras tierras?
¡Tal vez hasta les enseñe a los griegos!
