16 Jesus said to his disciples: “A little while, and now you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me: because I go to the Father.”
17 Then some of the disciples said one to another: What is this that he said to us: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me, and, because I go to the Father?
18 So they said, “What is this ‘little while’ of which he speaks? We do not know what he means.”
19 Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, “Are you discussing with one another what I said, ‘A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me’?
20 Amen, amen I say to you, that you shall lament and weep, but the world shall rejoice; and you shall be made sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
