‏ John 7:33

 Yet a little while ( ετ χρονον μικρον ). 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 ( υπαγω προς τον πεμψαντα με ). See the same words in 16:5.  Hυπαγω, old compound ( υπο, αγω ), has the notion of withdrawing (literally, go under). See 16:7-10 for three words for going common in John ( πορευομα, go for a purpose,  απερχομα, to go away,  υπαγω, to withdraw personally).  Hυπαγω often in John of going to the Father or God (8:14, 21; 13:3, 33, 36; 14:4, 5, 28; 15:16; 16:4, 7, 10, 17). See 6:21. It was enigmatic language to the hearers.
