Lamsa(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 his disciples said to one another, What is this that he said to us, A little while, and you will not see me; and again a little while, and you will see me; and, because I am going to my Father?
18 And they said, What is this that he said, A little while? We cannot understand what he talks about.
19 Jesus knew that they desired to ask him, and he said to them, Are you inquiring among yourselves concerning this, that I told you, A little while, and you will not see me; and again a little while, and you will see me?
20 Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and wail, and yet the world will rejoice; and you will be sad, but your sadness will be changed into gladness.
21 When a woman is in travail, she is depressed, because her day has arrived; but when she has given birth to a son, she no longer remembers her troubles, because of the joy that a male child * is born into the world.
22 So you also are depressed; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no man will take away from you.
