John 7:33

John 7:33

31 And ^amany of the people believed in Him, and said, “When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?”

Jesus and the Religious Leaders

32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him.

33 Then Jesus said¹ to them, ^a“I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I ^bgo to Him who sent Me.

34 You ^awill seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you ^bcannot come.”

35 Then the Jews said among themselves, “Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him? Does He intend to go to ^athe Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

36 What is this thing that He said, ‘You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come’?”

The Promise of the Holy Spirit

37 ^aOn the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, ^b“If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.

38 ^aHe who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, ^bout of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”

Yet a little while (eti xronon mikron). Accusative of extent of time. It was only six months to the last passover of Christ's ministry and he knew that the end was near.

I go unto him that sent me (upagw prov ton pemyanta me). See the same words in John 16:5. upagw, old compound (upo, agw), has the notion of withdrawing (literally, go under). See John 16:7-10 for three words for going common in John (poreuomai, go for a purpose, aperxomai, to go away, upagw, to withdraw personally). upagw often in John of going to the Father or God (John 8:14, John 8:21; John 13:3, John 13:33, John 13:36; John 14:4-5, John 14:28; John 15:16; John 16:4, John 16:7, John 16:10, John 16:17). See John 6:21. It was enigmatic language to the hearers.
