John:16:16-22
rsv@John:16:16 @ "A little while, and you will see me no more; again a little while, and you will see me."
rsv@John:16:17 @ Some of his disciples said to one another, "What is this that he says to us, `A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me'; and, `because I go to the Father'?"
rsv@John:16:18 @ They said, "What does he mean by `a little while'? We do not know what he means."
rsv@John:16:19 @ Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him; so he said to them, "Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, `A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me'?
rsv@John:16:20 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy.
rsv@John:16:21 @ When a woman is in travail she has sorrow, because her hour has come; but when she is delivered of the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a child is born into the world.
rsv@John:16:22 @ So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.
