“A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me”

조금 있으면 나를 보지 못하겠고 또 조금 있으면 나를 보리라 하심

John 16:16–24: he says, “A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me.” Some of his disciples therefore say to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;’ and, ‘Because I go to the Father’?” They say therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.” Jesus perceives that they want to ask him, and he says to them, “Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’? Most certainly I tell you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy. A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world. Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you. In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.”
