Joh 16:16 | NETfull | STEP | In a little while you will see me no longer; again after a little while, you will see me.”

John 16:16

16 In a little while you ^{▼▼ Grk “A little while, and you.”} will see me no longer; again after a little while, you ^{▼▼ Grk “and again a little while, and you.”} will see me.” ^{▼▼ The phrase after a little while, you will see me is sometimes taken to refer to the coming of the Holy Spirit after Jesus departs, but (as at 14:19) it is much more probable that it refers to the postresurrection appearances of Jesus to the disciples. There is no indication in the context that the disciples will see Jesus only with “spiritual” sight, as would be the case if the coming of the Spirit is in view.}
