Context — Love One Another

31When Judas had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him. 32If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify the Son in Himself—and will glorify Him at once.

33Little children, I am with you only a little while longer. You will look for Me, and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you: ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’

34A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another. 35By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.”

3	John 16:16–22	In a little while you will see Me no more, and then after a little while you will see Me. ” Then some of His disciples asked one another, “Why is He telling us, ‘In a little while you will not see Me, and then after a little while you will see Me’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?” They kept asking, “Why is He saying, ‘a little while’? We do not understand what He is saying.” Aware that they wanted to question Him, Jesus said to them, “Are you asking one another why I said, ‘In a little while you will not see Me, and then after a little while you will see Me’? Truly, truly, I tell you, you will weep and wail while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. A woman has pain in childbirth because her time has come; but when she brings forth her child, she forgets her anguish because of her joy that a child has been born into the world. So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.

John 13:33 Summary

[Jesus is telling His disciples that He will be leaving them soon, and they will not be able to follow Him where He is going. This is because He will be dying on the cross and then ascending to heaven, as He explains in John 14:2-3. Jesus wants His disciples to know that even though He will not be with them physically, He will always be with them spiritually, as seen in Matthew 28:20. He is preparing them for the time when they will have to carry on His work and spread His teachings without Him being physically present.]

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Jesus tell His disciples that they could not come where He was going?

Jesus was referring to His impending death and resurrection, after which He would ascend to heaven, a place where His disciples could not follow Him at that time, as seen in John 14:2-3 and John 16:7.

What did Jesus mean by saying He would be with the disciples only a little while longer?

Jesus was indicating that His time on earth was coming to an end, and soon He would be crucified and resurrected, as foretold in Matthew 26:2 and Mark 9:31.

How does Jesus' statement to the disciples relate to His earlier statement to the Jews?

Jesus had previously told the Jews that they could not follow Him where He was going, as seen in John 8:21-22, and now He is saying the same to His disciples, emphasizing the temporary nature of His physical presence with them.

What is the significance of Jesus addressing the disciples as 'Little children'?

Jesus' use of 'Little children' is a term of endearment and intimacy, showing His love and care for the disciples, similar to the way He taught them to address God as 'Father' in the Lord's Prayer, as seen in Matthew 6:9-10 and Luke 11:2-4.

Reflection Questions

What are some ways in which Jesus' presence in my life is similar to His presence with the disciples, and how can I cherish the time I have with Him?
How can I, like the disciples, come to terms with the reality of Jesus' physical absence and yet still experience His spiritual presence in my life?
In what ways can I demonstrate my love and devotion to Jesus, even when I feel His physical absence, and how can I trust in His promise to be with me always, as seen in Matthew 28:20?
What are some lessons or teachings that Jesus has given me, and how can I apply them in my life, even when I face uncertainty or difficult circumstances?

Gill's Exposition on John 13:33

Little children, yet a little while I am with you,.... Christ having removed the scandal of his death, by observing, that both he and his Father would be glorified by it, begins more freely to open

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on John 13:33

Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you. Little children , [ teknia (G5040)].

Matthew Poole's Commentary on John 13:33

Our Saviour’ s time of death being very nigh, (for it was the next day), he begins to speak of it to his disciples more freely and plainly, and to let them know that he, though now dying, bare a fatherly tender affection to them: he calls them little children. Parents have a natural affection to their children; a more tender affection to their children when little, because in their tender age they are more ignorant, and unable to provide for themselves. We find this compellation used by Christ’ s apostles, ,28. And he tells them, that he had but now a little time to be with them before his death, and not long after his resurrection; in which, too, his converse was not such with them as it hitherto had been. Whither I go, ye cannot come; he told this to the Jews in , and now he tells them the same, that they would miss him when he was gone, and should seek him; but even the disciples at present could not follow him to heaven, whither he was going. The unbelieving Jews should never follow him thither, but even those who were his disciples, who were born again, and whom he loved as little children are beloved by their parents, should not yet follow him; his work in the world was done, but they had yet a great deal of work in it to do.

Trapp's Commentary on John 13:33

33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you. Ver. 33. Little children, yet a little while] Here our Saviour useth the self-same words to his apostles, which before he had used to the Jews, with whom he was angry; so to cut off all hope from them of his corporeal presence. The fiction of the ubiquity began about the time of Berengarius; was fostered and furthered by Gerson, Chancellor of Paris, who first taught the real communication of properties, by means whereof the human nature of Christ received this prerogative, said he, that at his supper (and then only) it might be in many places at once, wheresoever the supper was celebrated. But in the year of Christ 1524 Jacobus Faber Staupulensis taught at Paris, that by the same reason Christ might be as well corporally present in all places at once, as he was at the supper. For which doctrine of the ubiquity he was opposed the year following by one Natalis Beda, and by the Sorbonists banished out of France. This is the nativity of that famous ubiquity, which being cast out of France, Luther brought back into the Churches of Germany; Brentius furbished it over, and Smidelinus obtruded it upon many places and persons, whether they would or not; whence he is surnamed, Ubiquitatis Apostolus, Omnipresent Apostle. How much better that good woman in the Book of Martyrs, that being asked by the bishops, "Dost thou believe that the body of Christ is in the sacrament really and substantially?" "I believe," said she, "that that is a real lie, and a substantial lie." Domitius Calderinus, the Italian, who flourished in the year 1442, when he was called by his friends to go to mass, was wont to say (as Vives tells us), Eamus ad communem errorem, Let us go to the common error.

Ellicott's Commentary on John 13:33

(33) Little children, yet a little while I am with you.—The thought of His own glory brings with it the thought of their state of orphanage when He shall have departed from them, and He addresses them as “Little children,” with a word of tenderness spoken only here by Him. The word impressed itself upon the mind of St. John, and it occurs elsewhere in the New Testament only in his First Epistle (1 John 2:1; 1 John 2:12; 1 John 2:28; 1 John 3:7; 1 John 3:18; 1 John 4:4; 1 John 5:21), and in an uncertain reading in the striking words of St. Paul, “My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you.” (See Note on Galatians 4:19, and comp. Introduction, p. 371.) For the remainder of the verse, see Notes on John 7:33-34; John 8:21.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on John 13:33

Verse 33. Little children] Or, rather, beloved children. τεκνια, a word frequently used by this apostle in his epistles. It is an expression which implies great tenderness and affection, and such as a fond mother uses to her most beloved babes. Now that Judas was gone out, he could use this epithet without any restriction of meaning. Yet a little while] The end of my life is at hand; Judas is gone to consummate his treason; I have but a few hours to be with you, and you shall be by and by scattered. Ye shall seek me] For a few days ye shall feel great distress because of my absence. Whither I go, ye cannot come] Your time is not up. The Jews shall die in their sins, martyrs to their infidelity; but ye shall die in the truth, martyrs for your Lord.

Cambridge Bible on John 13:33

33. Little children] Nowhere else in the Gospels does Christ use this expression of tender affection (teknia), which springs from the thought of His orphaned disciples. S. John appears never to have forgotten it. It occurs frequently in his First Epistle (1 John 2:1; 1 John 2:12; 1 John 2:28, John 3:7; John 3:18, John 4:4, John 5:21), and perhaps nowhere else in the N.T. In Galatians 4:19 the reading is doubtful. ‘Children’ in John 21:5 is a different word (paidia).a little while] See on John 7:33-34, John 8:21.Ye shall seek me] Christ does not add, as He did to the Jews, ‘and shall not find Me,’ still less: ‘ye shall die in your sin.’ Rather, ‘ye shall seek Me: and though ye cannot come whither I go, yet ye shall find Me by continuing to be My disciples and loving one another.’ The expression ‘the Jews’ is rare in Christ’s discourses; comp. John 4:22, John 18:20; John 18:36.

Barnes' Notes on John 13:33

Little children - An expression of great tenderness, denoting his deep interest in their welfare.

Whedon's Commentary on John 13:33

33. Little children—In presence of the stupendous events now transpiring they were indeed as little children, very infants.
