Some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me,’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”
The disciples are perplexed at the saying of Jesus, but they are speaking among themselves of the matter and not to Him. They did not pick up on the opportunity to ask Him about it. Do we ever miss similar opportunities because we are so concerned about what perplexes us? Do we run off to our brothers and sisters with our questions instead of first asking Jesus?
