Jim P - do not go too fast past these words.
If it is/was true that "In a little while..." they did not see Jesus, then it certainly must be
also true that "after a little while you will see me" means the same - a little while.  What is
a little while?  greater than 2000 years?  Or, is a little while more like "this generation"
type meaning...
