John 16:16-22

CLV(i) 16 A little, and no longer are you beholding Me; and again, a little, and you shall be seeing Me." 17 Some, then, of His disciples said to one another, "What is this that He is saying to us, 'A little, and you are not beholding Me, and again, a little, and you shall be seeing Me?' and that 'I am going away to the Father'? 18 They said, then, "What is this 'little' which He is saying? Not aware are we of what He is speaking." 19 Jesus, then, knew that they wanted to ask Him, and He said to them, "Concerning this are you seeking with one another that I said, 'A little, and you are not beholding Me, and again, a little, and you shall be seeing Me'? 20 Verily, verily, I am saying to you that you shall be lamenting and wailing, yet the world will be rejoicing; yet you shall be sorrowed, but your sorrow shall become joy." 21 A woman, whenever she may be bringing forth, is having sorrow, seeing that her hour came; yet whenever she should be bearing the little child, no longer is she remembering the affliction, because of the joy that a human being was born into the world." 22 You then, also, now, indeed, will be having sorrow, yet I shall be seeing you again, and your heart shall be rejoicing, and your joy no one is taking away from you."
