John 16:16-22
“ A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go to the Father.”Then some of His disciples said among themselves,“ What is this that He says to us,‘ A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’; and,‘ because I go to the Father’?”They said therefore,“ What is this that He says,‘ A little while’? We do not know what He is saying.”Now Jesus knew that they desired to ask Him, and He said to them,“ Are you inquiring among yourselves about what I said,‘ A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’?Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.

John 16:5-7
“ But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me,‘ Where are You going?’But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.

John 7:33-36
Then Jesus said to them,“ I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I go to Him who sent Me.You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come.”Then the Jews said among themselves,“ Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him? Does He intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?What is this thing that He said,‘ You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come’?”

Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews,‘ Where I am going, you cannot come,’ so now I say to you.
-
John 8:21-24
Then Jesus said to them again,“ I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come.”So the Jews said,“ Will He kill Himself, because He says,‘ Where I go you cannot come’?”And He said to them,“ You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

See! Your house is left to you desolate; and assuredly, I say to you, you shall not see Me until the time comes when you say,‘ Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’”

John 17:11-13
Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves.

John 12:35
