John 16:16-22
A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me.”Some of his disciples therefore said to one another,“ What is this that he says to us,‘ A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;’ and,‘ Because I go to the Father’?”They said therefore,“ What is this that he says,‘ A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them,“ Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said,‘ A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?’Most certainly I tell you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.

I didn’t tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me,‘ Where are you going?’But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you.

I have kept those whom you have given me. None of them is lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.
