John 16:13-23

¹³But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all the truth. For he will not speak from himself, but whatever he shall hear, that he will speak; and he will tell you the things to come.

¹⁴He will glorify me, for he will receive of what is mine, and will tell it to you.

¹⁵Every thing that the Father hath is mine. For this cause I said, that he receiveth of what is mine, and will tell it to you.

¹⁶A little while, and ye no longer behold me; and again a little while, and ye will see me.

¹⁷Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye will see me? and, Because I go to the Father?

¹⁸They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? We do not know what he is speaking of.

¹⁹Jesus knew that they were desirous of asking him, and said to them, Is it of this that ye are inquiring of one another, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye will See me?

²⁰Truly, truly do I say to you, that ye will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; ye will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

²¹A 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, through joy that a man is born into the world.

²²So ye also now have sorrow; but I shall see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one taketh from you.

²³And in that day ye will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly do I say to you, Whatever ye shall ask the Father, he will give it you in my name.
