John 16:14-18 New Century Version (NCV)

14. The Spirit of truth will bring glory to me, because he will take what I have to say and tell it to you.

15. All that the Father has is mine. That is why I said that the Spirit will take what I have to say and tell it to you.

16. “After a little while you will not see me, and then after a little while you will see me again.”

17. Some of the followers said to each other, “What does Jesus mean when he says, ‘After a little while you will not see me, and then after a little while you will see me again’? And what does he mean when he says, ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”

18. They also asked, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We don’t understand what he is saying.”
