John 16:16-22
“ A little while and you will no longer see Me; again a little while and you will see Me.”Therefore some of His disciples said to one another,“ What is this He tells us:‘ A little while and you will not see Me; again a little while and you will see Me’; and,‘ because I am going to the Father’?”They said,“ What is this He is saying,‘ A little while’? We don’t know what He’s talking about!”Jesus knew they wanted to question Him, so He said to them,“ Are you asking one another about what I said,‘ A little while and you will not see Me; again a little while and you will see Me’?“ I assure you: You will weep and wail, but the world will rejoice. You will become sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn to joy.When a woman is in labor she has pain because her time has come. But when she has given birth to a child, she no longer remembers the suffering because of the joy that a person has been born into the world.So you also have sorrow now. But I will see you again. Your hearts will rejoice, and no one will rob you of your joy.

So they said to Him,“ The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a Prophet powerful in action and speech before God and all the people,and how our chief priests and leaders handed Him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified Him.But we were hoping that He was the One who was about to redeem Israel. Besides all this, it’s the third day since these things happened.
