John 16:16

Context
16:16 In a little while you 1  will see me no longer; again after a little while, you 2  will see me.” 3 

1 tn Grk “A little while, and you.”

2 tn Grk “and again a little while, and you.”

3 sn The phrase after a little while, you will see me is sometimes taken to refer to the coming of the Holy Spirit after Jesus departs, but (as at 14:19) it is much more probable that it refers to the postresurrection appearances of Jesus to the disciples. There is no indication in the context that the disciples will see Jesus only with “spiritual” sight, as would be the case if the coming of the Spirit is in view.
