Thematic Bible: The lord going away only to return later

as a man travelling abroad, who left his house, and gave charge to his servants, to each his work, and bid the porter be watchful. Watch ye therefore; for ye know not when the master of the house cometh: (in the evening, or at midnight, or at the cock-crowing, or in the morning:)

Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house there are many mansions; if not, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. And as I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to myself, that where I am, ye may also be. read more.
And ye know where I am going, and ye know the way. Thomas saith unto Him, Lord, we know not whither thou art going, and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me.

Now Jesus knew that they wanted to ask Him, and therefore said unto them, Are ye enquiring among each other about this, that I said, A little while and ye shall not see me, and again a little while and ye shall see me? Verily I tell you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. A woman when she is in labor, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she is delivered of the child, she thinks no more of the anguish, for joy, that a man is born into the world. read more.
And ye therefore now have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy shall no one take from you.
