The Pharisees were expecting a messiah, and would continue to search for one, not realising that they had missed Him. Jesus was going away, this refers to His death and ascension. The Pharisees had a limited time in which to come to their senses, otherwise they would die in their sin.
The Jews had no idea what Jesus was talking about, thinking that He was contemplating suicide. The fundamental difference between Jesus and the Jews was that Jesus was from above, from heaven, whereas they were firmly rooted in the earth.
Jesus seems to be saying that once they had crucified Him they would realise who Jesus was. Now after the resurrection most of the Jews (as in religious leaders) still did not believe. So was it did dawn on them who He was, but even so they shut their minds to this?
Jesus did only what the Father told Him to do. While the religious leaders refused to believe, man others did believe in Him.
