John 16:16-22
“ In a little while, you will no longer see me; again in a little while, you will see me.”Then some of his disciples said to one another,“ What is this he’s telling us:‘ In a little while, you will not see me; again in a little while, you will see me,’ and,‘ Because I am going to the Father’?”They said,“ What is this he is saying,‘ In a little while’? We don’t know what he’s talking about.”Jesus knew they wanted to ask him, and so he said to them,“ Are you asking one another about what I said,‘ In a little while, you will not see me; again in a little while, you will see me’?Truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice. You will become sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn to joy.When a woman is in labor, she has pain because her time has come. But when she has given birth to a child, she no longer remembers the suffering because of the joy that a person has been born into the world.So you also have sorrow now. But I will see you again. Your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy from you.

John 16:5-7
But now I am going away to him who sent me, and not one of you asks me,‘ Where are you going?’Yet, because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth. It is for your benefit that I go away, because if I don’t go away the Counselor will not come to you. If I go, I will send him to you.

John 7:33-36
Then Jesus said,“ I am only with you for a short time. Then I’m going to the one who sent me.You will look for me, but you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come.”Then the Jews said to one another,“ Where does he intend to go that we won’t find him? He doesn’t intend to go to the Jewish people dispersed among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, does he?What is this remark he made:‘ You will look for me, and you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come’?”

Then he said to them again,“ I’m going away; you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I’m going, you cannot come.”So the Jews said again,“ He won’t kill himself, will he, since he says,‘ Where I’m going, you cannot come’?”“ You are from below,” he told them,“ I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.Therefore I told you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”

John 17:11-13
I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by your name that you have given me, so that they may be one as we are one.While I was with them, I was protecting them by your name that you have given me. I guarded them and not one of them is lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture may be fulfilled.Now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy completed in them.
