John 16:15-21

1. 15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

2. 16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

3. 17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?

4. 18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.

5. 19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?

6. 20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

7. 21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
