Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me — Jesus announces that his time with them is limited ('yet a little while'). He will 'go unto him that sent me,' preparing for his return to the Father in the crucifixion and ascension. The statement contains both a temporal claim (the time of his ministry is bounded) and an eschatological promise: his departure is not an ending but a going to God. This frames his imminent arrest and death not as tragedy but as a return to the Father.
