This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Yet a little while (eti chronon 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 (hupagō pros ton pempsanta me). See the same words in Joh 16:5. Hupagō, old compound (hupo, agō), has the notion of withdrawing (literally, go under). See Joh 16:7-10 for three words for going common in John (poreuomai, go for a purpose, aperchomai, to go away, hupagō, to withdraw personally). Hupagō often in John of going to the Father or God (Joh 8:14, Joh 8:21; Joh 13:3, Joh 13:33, Joh 13:36; Joh 14:4, Joh 14:5, Joh 14:28; Joh 15:16; Joh 16:4, Joh 16:7, Joh 16:10, Joh 16:17). See Joh 6:21. It was enigmatic language to the hearers.
