John 16:16-22

16In a littleG3398G2532 while you will seeG2334 MeG1473 no moreG3765, andG2532 thenG3825 after a littleG3398G2532 while you will seeG3708 MeG1473.1”

17ThenG3767 some ofG1537 HisG846 disciplesG3101 askedG2036G4314 one anotherG240, “WhyG5101 isG1510 He tellingG3004 usG1473, ‘In a littleG3398G2532 while you will not seeG3756G2334 MeG1473, andG2532 thenG3825 after a littleG3398G2532 while you will seeG3708 MeG1473’ andG2532 ‘BecauseG3754 I am goingG5217 toG4314 theG3588 FatherG3962’?” 18They kept askingG2036, “WhyG5101 isG1510 He sayingG3004, ‘aG3588 littleG3398 while’? We do not understandG3756G1492 whatG5101 He is sayingG2980.”

AwareG1097 thatG3754 they wantedG2309 to questionG2065 HimG846, Jesus saidG2036 to themG846, “Are you askingG2212 one anotherG3326G240 whyG4012G3778 I saidG2036, ‘In a littleG3398G2532 while you will not seeG3756G2334 MeG1473, andG2532 thenG3825 after a littleG3398G2532 while you will seeG3708 MeG1473’? 20TrulyG281, trulyG281, I tellG3004 youG4771, youG4771 will weepG2799 andG2532 wailG2354 while theG3588 worldG2889 rejoicesG5463. YouG4771 will grieveG3076, butG235 yourG4771 griefG3077 will turnG1096 toG1519 joyG5479. 21A womanG1135 hasG2192 painG3077 in childbirthG3752G5088 becauseG3754 herG846 timeG5610 has comeG2064; butG1161 whenG3752 she brings forthG1080 her childG3813, she forgetsG3421G3765 her anguishG2347 because ofG1223 her joyG5479 thatG3754 a childG444 has been bornG1080 intoG1519 theG3588 worldG2889. 22SoG3767 alsoG2532 youG4771 haveG2192 sorrowG3077 nowG3568, butG1161 I will seeG3708 youG4771 againG3825 andG2532 yourG4771 heartsG2588 will rejoiceG5463, andG2532 no oneG3762 will takeG142 awayG575 yourG4771 joyG5479.
