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 Con todo, muchos de entre la multitud creyeron en él y decían: «Cuando venga el Cristo, ¿acaso va a hacer más señales que este hombre?»

32 Los fariseos oyeron a la multitud que murmuraba estas cosas acerca de él, y junto con los jefes de los sacerdotes mandaron unos guardias del templo para arrestarlo.

33 —Voy a estar con ustedes un poco más de tiempo —afirmó Jesús—, y luego volveré al que me envió.

34 Me buscarán, pero no me encontrarán, porque adonde yo esté no podrán ustedes llegar.

35 «¿Y este a dónde piensa irse que no podamos encontrarlo? —comentaban entre sí los judíos—. ¿Será que piensa ir a nuestra gente dispersa entre las naciones, para enseñar a los griegos?
