Jesus saw that the followers wanted to ask him about this. So Jesus said to the followers, “Are you asking each other what I meant when I said, ‘After a short time you won’t see me. Then after another short time you will see me again’?
“Father, I want these people that you have given me to be with me in every place I am. I want them to see my glory. This is the glory you gave me because you loved me before the world was made.
Who can say that God’s people are guilty? No one! Christ Jesus died \{for us\}, but that is not all. He was also raised from death. And now he is at God’s right side and is begging God for us.
