John 16:16

Jesus Predicts His Return to the Disciples

16 "A little [while] and you will see me no more, and again a little [while] and you will see me.

John 16:16 In-Context

14 He will glorify me, because he will take from what [is] mine and will proclaim [it] to you.
15 Everything that the Father has is mine. For this [reason] I said that he takes from what [is] mine and will proclaim [it] to you.
16 "A little [while] and you will see me no more, and again a little [while] and you will see me.
17 So some of his disciples said to one another, "What is this that he is saying to us, 'A little [while] and you will not see me, and again a little [while] and you will see me,' and 'Because I am going away to the Father'?"
18 So they kept on saying, "What is this that he is saying, 'A little [while]'? We do not understand what he is speaking about!"
