John 16:16-22
“ A little while, and you no longer are going to see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me.”So some of His disciples said to one another,“ What is this that He is telling us,‘ A little while, and you are not going to see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’; and,‘ because I am going to the Father’?”So they were saying,“ What is this that He says,‘ A little while’? We do not know what He is talking about.”Jesus knew that they wanted to question Him, and He said to them,“ Are you deliberating together about this, that I said,‘ A little while, and you are not going to see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me’?Truly, truly I say to you that you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy!Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.Therefore you too have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one is going to take your joy away from you.

John 16:5-7
“ But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me,‘ Where are You going?’But because I have said these things to you, grief has filled your heart.But I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I am leaving; for if I do not leave, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

John 7:33-36
Therefore Jesus said,“ For a little while longer I am going to be with you, and then I am going to Him who sent Me.You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”The Jews then said to one another,“ Where does this man intend to go that we will not find Him? He does not intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks, does He?What is this statement that He said,‘ You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come’?”

Little children, I am still with you a little longer. You will look for Me; and just as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you:‘ Where I am going, you cannot come.’

John 8:21-24
Then He said again to them,“ I am going away, and you will look for Me, and will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come.”So the Jews were saying,“ Surely He will not kill Himself, will He, since He says,‘ Where I am going, you cannot come’?”And He was saying to them,“ You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am, you will die in your sins.”

Behold, your house is left to you desolate; and I say to you, you will not see Me until you say,‘ Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”

John 17:11-13
I am no longer going to be in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, so that they may be one just as We are.While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name, which You have given Me; and I guarded them, and not one of them perished except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.But now I am coming to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves.

John 12:35
