John 16:16-22
In a little while you will see me no longer; again after a little while, you will see me.”Then some of his disciples said to one another,“ What is the meaning of what he is saying,‘ In a little while you will not see me; again after a little while, you will see me,’ and,‘ because I am going to the Father’?”So they kept on repeating,“ What is the meaning of what he says,‘ In a little while’? We do not understand what he is talking about.”Jesus could see that they wanted to ask him about these things, so he said to them,“ Are you asking each other about this– that I said,‘ In a little while you will not see me; again after a little while, you will see me’?I tell you the solemn truth, you will weep and wail, but the world will rejoice; you will be sad, but your sadness will turn into joy.When a woman gives birth, she has distress because her time has come, but when her child is born, she no longer remembers the suffering because of her joy that a human being has been born into the world.So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

John 16:5-7
But now I am going to the one who sent me, and not one of you is asking me,‘ Where are you going?’Instead your hearts are filled with sadness because I have said these things to you.But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I am going away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you.

John 7:33-36
Then Jesus said,“ I will be with you for only a little while longer, and then I am going to the one who sent me.You will look for me but will not find me, and where I am you cannot come.”Then the Jewish leaders said to one another,“ Where is he going to go that we cannot find him? He is not going to go to the Jewish people dispersed among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is he?What did he mean by saying,‘ You will look for me but will not find me, and where I am you cannot come’?”

Then Jesus said to them again,“ I am going away, and you will look for me but will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come.”So the Jewish leaders began to say,“ Perhaps he is going to kill himself, because he says,‘ Where I am going you cannot come.’”Jesus replied,“ You people are from below; I am from above. You people are from this world; I am not from this world.Thus I told you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”

John 17:11-13
I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one.When I was with them I kept them safe and watched over them in your name that you have given me. Not one of them was lost except the one destined for destruction, so that the scripture could be fulfilled.But now I am coming to you, and I am saying these things in the world, so they may experience my joy completed in themselves.
