John 16:16-22

CAB(i) 16 "A little while and you will not see Me; and again a little while and you will see Me, because I am going to the Father." 17 Then some of His disciples said to one another, "What is this that He says to us, 'A little while and you will not see Me; and again a little while and you will see Me'; and, 'I am going to the Father'?" 18 Therefore they said, "What is this that He says, 'A little while'? We do not understand what He is saying." 19 Now Jesus knew that they were desiring to ask Him, and He said to them, "Are you inquiring with one another that I said, 'A little while and you will not see Me; and again a little while and you will see Me'? 20 Most assuredly I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be grieved, but your grief will be turned into joy. 21 A woman, whenever she gives birth, has sorrow, because her hour has come; but whenever the child is born, she no longer remembers the anguish, on account of the joy that a human being has been born into the world. 22 Therefore you also now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.
