John 16

¹⁴ He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.

¹⁵ Everything that belongs to the Father is Mine. That is why I said that the Spirit will take from what is Mine and disclose it to you.

¹⁶ In a little while you will see Me no more, and then after a little while you will see Me.”

¹⁷ Then some of His disciples asked one another, “Why is He telling us, ‘In a little while you will not see Me, and then after a little while you will see Me’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”

¹⁸ They kept asking, “Why is He saying, ‘a little while’? We do not understand what He is saying.”
