John 16:20-29

20TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, that 1you will weepG2799 and lamentG2354, but the worldG2889 will rejoiceG5463; you will grieveG3076, but 2your griefG3077 will be turnedG1096 into joyG5479. 213WheneverG3752 a womanG1135 is in laborG5088 she hasG2192 4painG3077, becauseG3754 her hourG5610 has comeG2064; but whenG3752 she givesG1080 birthG1080 to the childG3813, she noG3765 longerG3765 remembersG3421 the anguishG2347 becauseG3754 of the joyG5479 that a 5childG444 has been bornG1080 into the worldG2889. 22ThereforeG3767 6you tooG2532 haveG2192 griefG3077 nowG3568; but 7I will seeG3708 you againG3825, and your heartG2588 will rejoiceG5463, and noG3762 oneG3762 will takeG142 your joyG5479 awayG142 from you. 238In that dayG2250 9you will not questionG2065 Me about anythingG5100. TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, 10ifG302 you askG154 the FatherG3962 for anythingG5100 in My nameG3686, He will giveG1325 it to you. 2411UntilG2193 nowG737 you have askedG154 for nothingG3762 in My nameG3686; askG154 and you will receiveG2983, soG2443 that your 12joyG5479 may be madeG4137 fullG4137.

25“TheseG3778 thingsG3778 I have spokenG2980 to you in 1314figurativeG3942 languageG3942; 15an hourG5610 is comingG2064 whenG3753 I will noG3765 longerG3765 speakG2980 to you in 16figurativeG3942 languageG3942, but will tellG518 you plainlyG3954 of the FatherG3962. 2617In that dayG2250 18you will askG154 in My nameG3686, and I do not sayG3004 to you that I will requestG2065 of the FatherG3962 on your behalfG4012; 27for 19the FatherG3962 HimselfG846 lovesG5368 you, becauseG3754 you have lovedG5368 Me and 20have believedG4100 that 21I cameG1831 forthG1831 from the FatherG3962. 2822I cameG1831 forthG1831 from the FatherG3962 and have comeG2064 into the worldG2889; I am leavingG863 the worldG2889 againG3825 and 23goingG4198 to the FatherG3962.”

29His disciplesG3101 saidG3004, “LoG2396, nowG3568 You are speakingG2980 plainlyG3954 and are not 24usingG3004 25a figureG3942 of speechG3942.
