John 16:16 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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

A little while, and ye shall not see me, х theooreite (G2334)] - 'and ye behold Me not:'

And again, a little while, and ye shall see me; because I go to the Father. [The last clause - hoti (G3754) egoo (G1473) hupagoo (G5217) pros (G4314) ton (G3588) patera (G3962) - is omitted by Tischendorf and Tregelles, and bracketed by Lachmann. But the evidence in its favour is, in our judgment, preponderating; and the question of the disciples in John 16:17 seems to presuppose it.]
