Jesus' Divine Timetable
Commentators explain that Jesus' statement is a declaration of His divine sovereignty. Though officers were sent to arrest Him, He makes it clear that His departure is not up to them. He will leave on His own terms ("I go") and according to His Father's perfect schedule ("a little while"). His life and death are not subject to human plots but are part of God's divine plan.
