John 16:16-22

Rotherham(i) 16 A little while, and, no longer, ye behold me; and, again a little while, and ye shall see me. 17 Some of his disciples, therefore, said one to another––What is this which he is saying to us:––A little while, and ye behold me not, and, again a little while, and ye shall see me; and––Because I go my way unto the Father? 18 They were saying, therefore––What is this which he saith:––A little while? We know not [what he is saying]. 19 Jesus took note, that they were wishing to question him, and said unto them––Concerning this, are ye enquiring one with another,––because 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 unto you––Ye, shall weep and lament, but, the world, shall rejoice: Ye, shall be grieved, but, your grief, into joy, shall be turned. 21 A woman, as soon as she is about to bring forth, hath, grief, because her hour hath come; but, as soon as she hath given birth to the child, no longer, remembereth she the anguish, by reason of the joy, that a human being into the world hath been born. 22 And, ye, therefore, now, indeed have grief; but, again, will I see you, and your heart shall rejoice,––and, your joy, no one, shall force from you.
