John 16:20-22

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.
