John 16:19-23

19Jesus knew they wanted to ask him, and so he said to them, “Are you asking one another about what I said, ‘In a little while, you will not see me; again in a little while, you will see me’?

20Truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice. You will become sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn to joy.

21When a woman is in labor, she has pain because her time has come. But when she has given birth to a child, she no longer remembers the suffering because of the joy that a person has been born into the world.

22So you also have sorrow now. But I will see you again. Your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy from you.

23“In that day you will not ask me anything. Truly I tell you, anything you ask the Father in my name, he will give you.
