John 16:16-22

ABU(i) 16 A little while, and ye behold me not; and again a little while, and ye shall see me. 17 Therefore some of his disciples said to one another: What is this that he says to us, A little while, and ye behold me not; and again a little while, and ye shall see me; and, I go to the Father? 18 They said therefore: What is this that he says, A little while? We know not what he says. 19 Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said to them: Do ye inquire of this with one another, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not; and again a little while, and ye shall see me? 20 Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and ye will be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. 21 A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she has borne the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. 22 And so ye now have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you.
