John 16:16-22
Jesus continued,“ In a little while, you will no longer see me. Then after a little while, you will see me.”After they heard this, some of his disciples spoke to one another. They said,“ What does he mean by saying,‘ In a little while, you will no longer see me. Then after a little while, you will see me’? And what does he mean by saying,‘ 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 these things. So he said to them,“ Are you asking one another what I meant? Didn’t you understand when I said,‘ In a little while, you will no longer see me. Then after a little while, you will see me’?What I’m about to tell you is true. You will weep and mourn while the world is full of joy. You will be sad, but your sadness will turn into joy.A woman giving birth to a baby has pain. That’s because her time to give birth has come. But when her baby is born, she forgets the pain. She forgets because she is so happy that a baby has been born into the world.That’s the way it is with you. Now it’s your time to be sad. But I will see you again. Then you will be full of joy. And no one will take away your joy.

John 16:5-7
But now I am going to the one who sent me. None of you asks me,‘ Where are you going?’Instead, you are filled with sadness because I have said these things.But what I’m about to tell you is true. It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Friend will not come to help you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

John 7:33-36
Jesus said,“ I am with you for only a short time. Then I will go to the one who sent me.You will look for me, but you won’t find me. You can’t come where I am going.”The Jews said to one another,“ Where does this man plan to go? Does he think we can’t find him? Will he go where our people live scattered among the Greeks? Will he go there to teach the Greeks?What did he mean when he said,‘ You will look for me, but you won’t find me’? And what did he mean when he said,‘ You can’t come where I am going’?”

John 8:21-24
Once more Jesus said to them,“ I am going away. You will look for me, and you will die in your sin. You can’t come where I am going.”This made the Jews ask,“ Will he kill himself? Is that why he says,‘ You can’t come where I am going’?”But Jesus said,“ You are from below. I am from heaven. You are from this world. I am not from this world.I told you that you would die in your sins. This will happen if you don’t believe that I am he. If you don’t believe, you will certainly die in your sins.”

John 17:11-13
I will not remain in the world any longer. But they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe by the power of your name. It is the name you gave me. Keep them safe so they can be one, just as you and I are one.While I was with them, I guarded them. I kept them safe through the name you gave me. None of them has been lost, except the one who was headed for ruin. It happened so that Scripture would come true.“ I am coming to you now. But I say these things while I am still in the world. I say them so that those you gave me can have the same joy that I have.
