WPNT(i)
16 “In just a little you won’t see me, and in another little you will see me, because I am going to the Father.”
17 Then some of His disciples said among themselves “What is this that He’s telling us, ‘In just a little you won’t see me, and in another little you will see me,’ and because ‘I am going to the Father’?”
18 So they said: “What is this ‘little’ that He mentions? We don’t know what He’s talking about.”
19 Well Jesus knew that they were wanting to question Him and said to them: “Are you inquiring among yourselves about what I said, ‘In just a little you won’t see me, and in another little you will see me’?
20 Most assuredly I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will become grieved, but your grief will be turned into joy.
21 When a woman gives birth she has pain, because her time has come; but when the child is born she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.
22 So in your turn you are now experiencing grief, but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.
