¹¹ “when all Israel shall come to appear before the LORD your God and the place which He shall choose, you shall read this Law before all Israel so that they may hear it.

¹² “Gather the people together — men, women, children, and the stranger who is within your gates — so that they may hear, and that they may learn and fear the LORD your God, and keep and observe all the words of this Law,

¹³ “and that their children who have not known it may hear it and learn to fear the LORD your God as long as you live in the land to which you go over Jordan to possess.”

¹⁶ “A little while, and you shall not see Me. And again, a little while, and you shall see Me. For I go to the Father.”

¹⁷ Then some of His disciples said among themselves, “What is this that He says to us, ‘A little while, and you shall not see Me. And again, a little while, and you shall see Me’, and, ‘For I go to the Father’?”
