16 A little while and you behold Me no longer; and again a little while and you will see Me.”
17 Therefore some of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that He says to us, ‘A little while and you do not behold Me; and again a little while and you will see Me’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”
18 Therefore they were saying, “What is this that He says, ‘a little while’? We do not know what He is saying.”
19 Jesus knew that they were desiring to ask Him, and He said to them, “Do you inquire among one another concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while and you do not behold Me, and again a little while and you will see Me’?
20 Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and will lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be grieved, but your grief will turn to joy.
21 The woman has pain when she is giving birth, because her hour has come; but when she brings forth the child, she remembers the tribulation no longer, on account of the joy that a man has been born into the world.
22 Therefore you also indeed have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.
