John 16:16 Douay-Rheims

A little while, and now you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me: because I go to the Father.

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

(Hom. lxxix. 1) Either sorrow had confused their minds, or the obscurity of the words themselves prevented their understanding them, and made them appear contradictory. If we shall see Thee, they say, how goest Thou? If Thou goest, how shall we see Thee? What is this that He saith unto us, A little while? We cannot tell what He saith.
