Yohanes 16:18

16:18 So they kept on repeating, ¹  “What is the meaning of what he says, ²  ‘In a little while’? ³  We do not understand ⁴  what he is talking about.” ⁵ 

Yohanes 16:20

16:20 I tell you the solemn truth, ⁶  you will weep ⁷  and wail, ⁸  but the world will rejoice; you will be sad, ⁹  but your sadness will turn into ¹⁰  joy.

[16:18]  ¹ tn Grk “they kept on saying.”

[16:18]  ² tn Grk “What is this that he says.”

[16:18]  ³ tn Grk “A little while.” Although the phrase τὸ μικρόν (to mikron) in John 16:18 could be translated simply “a little while,” it was translated “in a little while” to maintain the connection to John 16:16, where it has the latter meaning in context.

[16:18]  ⁴ tn Or “we do not know.”

[16:18]  ⁵ tn Grk “what he is speaking.”

[16:20]  ⁶ tn Grk “Truly, truly, I say to you.”

[16:20]  ⁷ tn Or “wail,” “cry.”

[16:20]  ⁸ tn Or “lament.”

[16:20]  ⁹ tn Or “sorrowful.”

[16:20]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “will become.”
