John 16:16-17

Your Sorrow Will Turn into Joy

16 f“A little while, and you will see me no longer; and gagain a little while, and you will see me.” 17So hsome of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, i‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’; and, jbecause I am going to the Father?”

John 17:11-13

11And I am no longer in the world, but kthey are in the world, and lI am coming to you. mHoly Father, nkeep them in your name, owhich you have given me, pthat they may be one, qeven as we are one. 12 rWhile I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have sguarded them, and tnot one of them has been lost except uthe son of destruction, vthat the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13But now wI am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have xmy joy fulfilled in themselves.
