John 16:20-29

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. 24Hitherto have ye askedG154 nothing in my nameG3686: askG154, and ye shall receiveG2983, that your joyG5479 may beG1510 made fullG4137.

25These thingsG3778 have I spokenG2980 unto you in dark sayings: the hourG5610 cometh, whenG3753 I shall no more speakG2980 unto you in dark sayings, but shall tellG518 you plainlyG3954 of the FatherG3962. 26In that dayG2250 ye shall askG154 in my nameG3686: and I sayG3004 not unto you, that I will pray the FatherG3962 for you; 27for the FatherG3962 himself loveth you, because ye have lovedG5368 me, and have believedG4100 that I cameG1831 forthG1831 from the FatherG3962. 28I cameG2064 out from the FatherG3962, and am comeG2064 into the worldG2889: againG3825, I leaveG863 the worldG2889, and goG4198 unto the FatherG3962. 29His disciplesG3101 sayG3004, Lo, nowG3568 speakest thou plainlyG3954, and speakest no dark sayingG3004.
