John 16:20-29

20VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG4771, ThatG3754 yeG4771 shall weepG2799 andG2532 lamentG2354, butG1161 the worldG2889 shall rejoiceG5463: andG1161 yeG4771 shall be sorrowfulG3076, butG235 yourG4771 sorrowG3588G3077 shall be turnedG1096 intoG1519 joyG5479.

21A womanG3588G1135 whenG3752 she is in travailG5088 hathG2192 sorrowG3077, becauseG3754 herG846 hourG3588G5610 is comeG2064: butG1161 as soon asG3752 she is deliveredG1080 of the childG3588G3813, she rememberethG3421 noG3756 moreG2089 the anguishG3588G2347, forG1223 joyG3588G5479 thatG3754 a manG444 is bornG1080 intoG1519 the worldG3588G2889.

22AndG2532 yeG4771 nowG3568 thereforeG3767 haveG2192 sorrowG3077: butG1161 I will seeG3708 youG4771 againG3825, andG2532 yourG4771 heartG3588G2588 shall rejoiceG5463, andG2532 yourG4771 joyG3588G5479 no manG3762 takethG142 fromG575 youG4771.

23AndG2532 inG1722 thatG1565 dayG3588G2250 ye shall askG2065 meG1473 nothingG3762. VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG4771, WhatsoeverG3745 ye shall askG154 the FatherG3588G3962 inG1722 myG1473 nameG3588G3686, he will giveG1325 it youG4771.

24HithertoG2193 have ye askedG154 nothingG3762 inG1722 myG1473 nameG3588G3686: askG154, andG2532 ye shall receiveG2983, thatG2443 yourG4771 joyG3588G5479 may beG1510 fullG4137.

25These thingsG3778 have I spokenG2980 unto youG4771 inG1722 proverbsG3942: butG235 the timeG5610 comethG2064, whenG3753 I shallG2980 noG3756 moreG2089 speak untoG2980 youG4771 inG1722 proverbsG3942, butG235 I shall shewG312 youG4771 plainlyG3954 ofG4012 the FatherG3588G3962.

26AtG1722 thatG1565 dayG3588G2250 ye shall askG154 inG1722 myG1473 nameG3588G3686: andG2532 I sayG3004 notG3756 unto youG4771, thatG3754 IG1473 will prayG2065 the FatherG3588G3962 forG4012 youG4771:

27ForG1063 the FatherG3588G3962 himselfG846 lovethG5368 youG4771, becauseG3754 yeG4771 have lovedG5368 meG1473, andG2532 have believedG4100 thatG3754 IG1473 came outG1831 fromG3844 GodG3588G2316.

28I came forthG1831 fromG3844 the FatherG3588G3962, andG2532 am comeG2064 intoG1519 the worldG3588G2889: againG3825, I leaveG863 the worldG3588G2889, andG2532 goG4198 toG4314 the FatherG3588G3962.

29HisG846 disciplesG3588G3101 said untoG3004 himG846, LoG3708, nowG3568 speakest thouG2980 plainlyG3954, andG2532 speakestG3004 noG3762 proverbG3942.
