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 Assim mesmo, muitos no meio da multidão creram nele e diziam: “Quando o Cristo vier, fará mais sinais milagrosos do que este homem fez?”

32 Os fariseus ouviram a multidão falando essas coisas a respeito dele. Então os chefes dos sacerdotes e os fariseus enviaram guardas do templo para o prenderem.

33 Disse-lhes Jesus: “Estou com vocês apenas por pouco tempo e logo irei para aquele que me enviou.

34 Vocês procurarão por mim, mas não me encontrarão; vocês não podem ir ao lugar onde eu estarei”.

35 Os judeus disseram uns aos outros: “Aonde pretende ir este homem, que não o possamos encontrar? Para onde vive o nosso povo, espalhado entre os gregos, a fim de ensiná-lo?
