- "In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me."
- Some of his disciples said to one another, "What does he mean by saying, 'In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me,' and 'Because I am going to the Father'?"
- They kept asking, "What does he mean by 'a little while'? We don't understand what he is saying."
- Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, "Are you asking one another what I meant when I said, 'In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me'?
- I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.

- "A little while, and you will no longer see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me."
- Some of His disciples then said to one another, "What is this thing He is telling 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'?"
- So they were saying, "What is this that He says, 'A little while'? We do not know what He is talking about."
- Jesus knew that they wished to question Him, and He said to them, "Are you deliberating together about this, that I said, 'A little while, and you will not see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me'?
- "Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy.
