Contextual Overview

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." ¹⁹ Jesus saw that the followers wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, "Are you asking each other what I meant when I said, ‘After a little while you will not see me, and then after a little while you will see me again'? ²⁰ I tell you the truth, you will cry and be sad, but the world will be happy. You will be sad, but your sadness will become joy. ²¹ When a woman gives birth to a baby, she has pain, because her time has come. But when her baby is born, she forgets the pain, because she is so happy that a child has been born into the world. ²² It is the same with you. Now you are sad, but I will see you again and you will be happy, and no one will take away your joy.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him,.... This is a proof of Christ's deity, that he is the omniscient God who knows all things, what is in man, even the secrets of the heart; for he not only knew the whisperings of the disciples, and their inquiries among themselves about the sense of his words, but also their secret desires to ask him concerning it:

and said unto them, do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, a little while and ye shall not see me, and again a little while and ye shall see me? which he said before they could put the question to him, they being bashful, and backward, through fear or shame; and which not only confirms what is before observed of his omniscience, but also shows his readiness to open his mind and meaning, and explain himself to his disciples, as he does in the following words.
