John 16:20-26

20TrulyG281, trulyG281, I tellG3004 youG4771, youG4771 will weepG2799 andG2532 wailG2354 while theG3588 worldG2889 rejoicesG5463. YouG4771 will grieveG3076, butG235 yourG4771 griefG3077 will turnG1096 toG1519 joyG5479. 21A womanG1135 hasG2192 painG3077 in childbirthG3752G5088 becauseG3754 herG846 timeG5610 has comeG2064; butG1161 whenG3752 she brings forthG1080 her childG3813, she forgetsG3421G3765 her anguishG2347 because ofG1223 her joyG5479 thatG3754 a childG444 has been bornG1080 intoG1519 theG3588 worldG2889. 22SoG3767 alsoG2532 youG4771 haveG2192 sorrowG3077 nowG3568, butG1161 I will seeG3708 youG4771 againG3825 andG2532 yourG4771 heartsG2588 will rejoiceG5463, andG2532 no oneG3762 will takeG142 awayG575 yourG4771 joyG5479.

InG1722 thatG1565 dayG2250 you will no longer askG2065 MeG1473 anything. TrulyG281, trulyG281, I tellG3004 youG4771, whateverG302G5100 you askG154 theG3588 FatherG3962 inG1722 MyG1473 nameG3686, He will giveG1325 youG4771. 24UntilG2193 nowG737 you have not askedG154 for anything inG1722 MyG1473 nameG3686. AskG154 andG2532 you will receiveG2983, so thatG2443 yourG4771 joyG5479 may beG1510 completeG4137.

25I have spokenG2980 these thingsG3778 to youG4771 inG1722 figures of speechG3942. An hourG5610 is comingG2064 whenG3753 I will no longer speakG2980G3765 to youG4771 this way, butG235 will tellG518 youG4771 plainlyG3954 aboutG4012 theG3588 FatherG3962. 26InG1722 thatG1565 dayG2250 you will askG154 inG1722 MyG1473 nameG3686. I am not sayingG3756G3004 thatG3754 IG1473 will askG2065 theG3588 FatherG3962 onG4012 your behalfG4771.
