John 16:17

Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.

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

Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.

They didn’t understand the saying which he spoke to them.

Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor.

When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:

The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that Yahweh’s word in your mouth is truth.”

yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.

But they didn’t understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.

Jesus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

Jesus answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”

Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come,’ so now I tell you.

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.

But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’

about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won’t see me any more;

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

I came from the Father, and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.”

I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.

He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?” Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, “Do you have affection for me?” He said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.

What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.

So Jesus said, “Do you also still not understand?

For you always have the poor with you; but you don’t always have me.

They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the “rising from the dead” meant.

They remembered his words,

But Jesus didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,

Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s go also, that we may die with him.”

Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God, and was going to God,

In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.

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.

for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.

It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.

so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,

His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,

looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

and, “a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.” For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.

His brothers envied him, but his father kept this saying in mind.

I am a stranger on the earth. Don’t hide your commandments from me.

I heard, but I didn’t understand. Then I said, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?”

So then the Lord, after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.

At this, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”

Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered, “Where I am going, you can’t follow now, but you will follow afterwards.”

Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. How can we know the way?”

Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?”

“I have said these things to you so that you wouldn’t be caused to stumble.

But I have told you these things, so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I didn’t tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.
