John 16:19-23

19Jesus could see that they wanted to ask him about these things, so he said to them, “Are you asking each other about this – that I said, ‘In a little while you will not see me; again after a little while, you will see me’?

20I tell you the solemn truth, you will weep and wail, but the world will rejoice; you will be sad, but your sadness will turn into joy.

21When a woman gives birth, she has distress because her time has come, but when her child is born, she no longer remembers the suffering because of her joy that a human being has been born into the world.

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

23At that time you will ask me nothing. I tell you the solemn truth, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.
