John 16:20-33 ▼

20 Truly, truly, I say to you? that you? will weep and will lament, but the world will rejoice. You? will be grieved, but your? grief will turn to joy.

21 The woman has pain when she is giving birth, because her hour has come; but when she brings forth the child, she remembers the tribulation no longer, because of the joy that a man has been born into the world.

22 Therefore you? also indeed have grief now; but I will see you? again, and your? heart will rejoice, and no one will take your? joy from you?.

23 And in that day you? will ask of Me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you?, whatever you? may ask the Father in My name, He will give you?.

24 Until now you? have asked nothing in My name. Ask and you? will receive, so that your? joy may be full.

25 I have spoken these things to you? in allegories; an hour is coming when I will speak to you? no more in allegories, but I will report to you? plainly concerning the Father.

26 In that day you? will ask in My name, and I do not say to you? that I will implore the Father for you?.

27 For the Father Himself loves you?, because you? have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from God.

28 I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; again I leave the world and go to the Father.”

29 His disciples say, “Behold, now You speak in openness, and You do not speak allegory.

30 Now we know that You know all things and have no need that anyone should ask You. In this we believe that You came forth from God.”

31 Jesus answered them, “Now do you? believe?

32 Behold, an hour is coming and has come when you? shall be scattered, each to his own, and Me you? shall leave alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with Me.

33 I have spoken these things to you? so that in Me you? may have peace. In the world you? have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!”
