John 16:16-23

16A littleG3398 while, and ye behold me no more; and againG3825 a littleG3398 while, and ye shall seeG3708 me.

17Some of his disciplesG3101 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 oneG240 to another, What isG1510 this that he saith unto us, A littleG3398 while, and ye behold me not; and againG3825 a littleG3398 while, and ye shall seeG3708 me: and, Because I goG5217 to the FatherG3962?

18They saidG3004 thereforeG3767, What isG1510 this that he saith, A littleG3398 while? We know not what he saith.

19JesusG2424 perceived that they were desirous to askG2065 him, and he saidG3004 unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves concerningG4012 this, that I saidG3004, A littleG3398 while, and ye behold me not, and againG3825 a littleG3398 while, and ye shall seeG3708 me?

20Verily, verily, I sayG3004 unto you, that ye shall weepG2799 and lament, but the worldG2889 shall rejoiceG5463: ye shall be sorrowfulG3076, but your sorrowG3077 shall be turned into joyG5479.

21A womanG1135 whenG3752 she is in travail hath sorrowG3077, because her hourG5610 is comeG2064: but whenG3752 she is delivered of the childG3813, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joyG5479 that a manG444 is bornG1080 into the worldG2889.

22And ye thereforeG3767 nowG1161 have sorrowG3077: but I will seeG3708 you againG3825, and your heartG2588 shall rejoiceG5463, and your joyG5479 no oneG3762 taketh awayG142 from you.

23And in that dayG2250 ye shall askG154 me no question. Verily, verily, I sayG3004 unto you, If ye shall askG154 anythingG5100 of the FatherG3962, he will giveG1325 it you in my nameG3686.
