But Jesus told them,“ I will be with you only a little longer. Then I will return to the one who sent me.

于是耶稣说：“我还有不多的时候和你们同在，以后就回到差我来的那里去。

于是耶稣说：“我跟你们在一起的时候不会太久了，我要回到那差我来的那里去。

于是耶稣说：“我跟你们在一起的时候不会太久了，我要回到那差我来的那里去。

耶稣对众人说：“我暂时还会跟你们在一起，不久我要回到差我来的那位那里。

于是耶稣说：“我跟你们在一起的时候不多了，我要回到那差我来的那里去。

耶稣说：“我与你们在一起的时候不多了，我要回到派我来的那一位面前。

於是耶穌說：「我還有不多的時候和你們同在，以後就回到差我來的那裏去。

於是耶穌說：「我跟你們在一起的時候不會太久了，我要回到那差我來的那裏去。

於是耶穌說：「我跟你們在一起的時候不會太久了，我要回到那差我來的那裏去。

耶穌對眾人說：「我暫時還會跟你們在一起，不久我要回到差我來的那位那裡。

於是耶穌說：“我跟你們在一起的時候不多了，我要回到那差我來的那裡去。

於是耶穌說：『我還有些時同你們在一起，就要去找差我的了。

耶穌說：「我與你們在一起的時候不多了，我要回到派我來的那一位面前。

耶穌曰、我猶暫偕爾、後歸遣我者、

耶穌曰、我暫偕爾、後歸遣我者、

耶穌曰、我尚有片時偕爾、後歸遣我者、

耶穌乃謂之曰：『予與爾俱尚有須臾、將歸詣遣予者；

Jesus said,“ I am with you for only a short time, and then I am going to the one who sent me.

Jesus said,“ I am with you for only a short time. Then I will go to the one who sent me.

Jesus then said,“ I will be with you a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me.

Then Jesus said,“ I am only with you for a short time. Then I’m going to the one who sent me.

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.

Then Jesus said to them,“ I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I go to Him who sent Me.

Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while am I with you, and I go unto him that sent me.

Then Jesus said,“ I am only with you for a short time. Then I’m going to the One who sent Me.

Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and[ then] I go unto him that sent me.

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.

Then Jesus said,“ I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.

“ But now I am going away to the one who sent me, and not one of you is asking where I am going.

Dear children, I will be with you only a little longer. And as I told the Jewish leaders, you will search for me, but you can’t come where I am going.

When the Lord Jesus had finished talking with them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand.

“ Now I am coming to you. I told them many things while I was with them in this world so they would be filled with my joy.

Now I am departing from the world; they are staying in this world, but I am coming to you. Holy Father, you have given me your name; now protect them by the power of your name so that they will be united just as we are.

“ In a little while you won’t see me anymore. But a little while after that, you will see me again.”Some of the disciples asked each other,“ What does he mean when he says,‘ In a little while you won’t see me, but then you will see me,’ and‘ I am going to the Father’?And what does he mean by‘ a little while’? We don’t understand.”Jesus realized they wanted to ask him about it, so he said,“ Are you asking yourselves what I meant? I said in a little while you won’t see me, but a little while after that you will see me again.I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn over what is going to happen to me, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will suddenly turn to wonderful joy.It will be like a woman suffering the pains of labor. When her child is born, her anguish gives way to joy because she has brought a new baby into the world.So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy.

Yes, I came from the Father into the world, and now I will leave the world and return to the Father.”

Soon the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Since I live, you also will live.

Before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that his hour had come to leave this world and return to his Father. He had loved his disciples during his ministry on earth, and now he loved them to the very end.

Jesus replied,“ My light will shine for you just a little longer. Walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you. Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going.Put your trust in the light while there is still time; then you will become children of the light.” After saying these things, Jesus went away and was hidden from them.

Jesus knew that the Father had given him authority over everything and that he had come from God and would return to God.

Righteousness is available because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more.
