And Jesus knew, that they would ask him, and he said to them, Of this thing ye seek among you, for I said, A little, and ye shall not see me; and again a little, and ye shall see me.
20
Truly, truly, I say to you, that ye shall mourn and weep, but the world shall have joy; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall turn into joy.
21
A woman when she beareth child, hath heaviness [hath sorrow, or heaviness], for her time is come; but when she hath born a son, now she thinketh not on the pain, for joy, for a man is born into the world.
22
And therefore ye have now sorrow, but again I shall see you, and your heart shall have joy, and no man shall take from you your joy.
23
And in that day ye shall not ask me any thing; truly, truly, I say to you, if ye ask the Father any thing in my name, he shall give [it] to you.
24
Till now ye asked nothing in my name; ask ye, and ye shall take, that your joy be full.
25
I have spoken to you these things in proverbs; the hour cometh, when now I shall not speak to you in proverbs, but openly of my Father I shall tell to you [I shall tell you].
26
In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I shall pray the Father for you;
27
for the Father himself loveth you, for ye have loved me, and have believed, that I went out from God.
28
I went out from the Father, and I came into the world; again I leave the world, and go to the Father.
29
His disciples said to him, Lo! now thou speakest openly, and thou sayest no proverb.
