John 16:16-18

16Jesus then said, ‘After a short time, you will not see me any more. But soon after that, you will see me again.’

17Some of his disciples said to each other, ‘What does he mean? He says, “After a short time, you will not see me any more, but soon after that you will see me.” He also says, “It is because I go to the Father.”

18What does he mean when he says, “a short time”? We do not know what he is talking about!’
