17. Some of his disciples therefore said 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’?”
18. They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”

22. 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.
23. “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.

25. I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
