We Would See Jesus
John 12:20,21
20 Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast.
21 Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”
John 12:23,24,33,36
23 But Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified.
24 Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.
33 This He said, signifying by what death He would die.
36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.
John 14:16,18,19,22
16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever.
18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”
John 16:7,16,18,20,22

16 “A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go to the Father.”
18 They said therefore, “What is this that He says, ‘A little while’? We do not know what He is saying.”
20 Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.
22 Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.
