John 16:12-22

12 I have yet many things to say to you: but you cannot bear them now.
13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself: but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak. And the things that are to come, he shall shew you.
14 He shall glorify me: because he shall receive of mine and shall shew it to you.
15 All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine. Therefore I said that he shall receive of me and shew it to you.
16 A little while, and now you shall not see me: and again a little while, and you shall see me: because I go to the Father.
17 Then some of his disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith to us: A little while, and you shall not see me: and again a little while, and you shall see me, and, Because I go to the Father?
18 They said therefore: What is this that he saith, A little while? We know not what he speaketh.
19 And Jesus knew that they had a mind to ask him. And he said to them: Of this do you inquire among yourselves, because I said: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me?
20 Amen, amen, I say to you, that you shall lament and weep, but the world shall rejoice: and you shall be made sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
21 A woman, when she is in labour, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she hath brought forth the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
22 So also you now indeed have sorrow: but I will see you again and your heart shall rejoice. And your joy no man shall take from you.
