John 16:17-29 in English

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

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

¹⁹ Jesus perceived that they were desirous to ask him, and he said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye shall see me?

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

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

²² And ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away from you.

²³ And in that day ye shall ask me no question. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name.

²⁴ Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be made full.

²⁵ These things have I spoken unto you in dark sayings: the hour cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in dark sayings, but shall tell you plainly of the Father.

²⁶ In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you;

²⁷ for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father.

²⁸ I came out from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go unto the Father.

²⁹ His disciples say, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no dark saying.

¹⁷ Then some of Jesus’ disciples said among themselves, “What does He mean by, ‘In a little while, and you won’t see me; and in a little while longer, you will see me, again;’ and, ‘because I go to the Father’?”

¹⁸ They kept asking, “What does He mean by ‘a little while’? We don’t understand what He is saying.”

¹⁹ Now Jesus knew that they wanted to ask Him, and He said to them, “Are you asking yourselves about what I said, ‘In a little while, and you won’t see me; and in a little while longer, you will see me, again’?

²⁰ Most assuredly, I tell you that you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice. You will be sad, but your sadness will be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman in labor is in pain because her time has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the baby, she forgets the agony, for joy that a child has been born into the world.

²² Therefore you have sorrow now, too, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and nobody will take your joy away from you.

²³ “In that day you will ask me nothing. Most assuredly, I tell you, whatever you 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, that your joy may be full.

²⁵ “I’ve told you these things in figures of speech, but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.

²⁶ In that day you will ask in my name. I don’t tell you that I’ll ask the Father for you,

²⁷ because 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 am leaving the world and going to the Father.”

²⁹ His disciples said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and not in figures of speech!

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?

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

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?

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.

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.

²² And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

²³ And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

²⁴ Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

²⁵ These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.

²⁶ At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:

²⁷ For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

²⁹ His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

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

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

¹⁹ Jesus perceived that they were desirous to ask him, and he said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye shall see me?

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

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

²² And ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away from you.

²³ And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name.

²⁴ Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be fulfilled.

²⁵ These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: the hour cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but shall tell you plainly of the Father.

²⁶ In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you;

²⁷ for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father.

²⁸ I came out from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go unto the Father.

²⁹ His disciples say, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

¹⁷ So some of us said to each other, “What does he mean by saying ‘After a short time you will not see me,’ and ‘A short time after that you will see me again’? And what does he mean by ‘Because I am going back to my Father’?”

¹⁸ We kept asking each other, “What does he mean by saying ‘After a little while’? We do not understand what he is saying.”

¹⁹ Jesus realized that we wanted to ask him about that. So he said to us, “You are asking RHQ each other what I meant when I said, ‘After a short time you will not see me, and then a short time after that you will see me again.’

²⁰ Listen to this carefully: After I ◄ leave you/die►, those who oppose God MTY will be happy, but you will be sad. But later you will stop being sad and you will become joyful.

²¹ A woman who is about to bear a child feels pain, because that is what happens MTY at that time. But after her baby is born, she forgets that pain, because she is very joyful that her child has been born.

²² It will be the same with you. I will soon die and you will be sad. But after that, I will see you again. Then you will be joyful, and no one will be able to stop you from being joyful.

²³ When that happens, you will not ask me any questions about anything. Listen to this carefully: After that happens, my Father will do for you anything you ask, because of his relationship with me MTY.

²⁴ Up to the present time, using my authority you have not asked God to do anything for you MTY. Now keep asking him for things that you need. If you do that, you will receive them, and then you will be completely joyful.

²⁵ Although I have been speaking these things using figurative language, there will soon be a time when I will no longer use that kind of language. Instead, I will tell you plainly ◄about my Father/what my Father wants►.

²⁶ At that time, you will ask him for things ◄because you belong to me/with my authority► MTY. I will not need to ask my Father to do what you ask.

²⁷ My Father himself loves you because you have loved me and because you have believed that I came from God my Father, so he wants you to ask him (OR, so he does not need anyone to persuade him to help you)

²⁸ I came from my Father into this world. Very soon I will be leaving this world and going back to my Father.”

²⁹ Then we, his disciples, said, “Now you are speaking plainly, without using figurative language.

¹⁷ Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;’ and, ‘Because I go to the Father’?”

¹⁸ They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”

¹⁹ Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?’

²⁰ Most certainly I tell you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.

²² Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

²³ “In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

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

²⁵ “I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

²⁶ In that day you will ask in my name; and I don’t say to you that I will pray to the Father for you,

²⁷ for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.

²⁸ I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”

²⁹ His disciples said to him, “Behold, now you are speaking plainly, and using no figures of speech.

¹⁷ Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;’ and, ‘Because I go to the Father’?”

¹⁸ They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”

¹⁹ Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?’

²⁰ Most certainly I tell you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.

²² Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

²³ “In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

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

²⁵ “I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

²⁶ In that day you will ask in my name; and I don’t say to you that I will pray to the Father for you,

²⁷ for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.

²⁸ I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”

²⁹ His disciples said to him, “Behold, now you are speaking plainly, and using no figures of speech.

¹⁷ Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;’ and, ‘Because I go to the Father’?”

¹⁸ They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”

¹⁹ Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Do you enquire amongst yourselves concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?’

²⁰ Most certainly I tell you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.

²² Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

²³ “In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

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

²⁵ “I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

²⁶ In that day you will ask in my name; and I don’t say to you that I will pray to the Father for you,

²⁷ for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.

²⁸ I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”

²⁹ His disciples said to him, “Behold, now you are speaking plainly, and using no figures of speech.

¹⁷ So some of the disciples said one to another, What is this he is saying, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me? and, I am going to the Father?

¹⁸ So they said again and again, What is this he is saying, A little time? His words are not clear to us.

¹⁹ Jesus saw that they had a desire to put the question to him, so he said to them, Is this what you are questioning one with another, why I said, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me?

²⁰ Truly I say to you, You will be weeping and sorrowing, but the world will be glad: you will be sad, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

²¹ When a woman is about to give birth she has sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she has given birth to the child, the pain is put out of her mind by the joy that a man has come into the world.

²² So you have sorrow now: but I will see you again, and your hearts will be glad, and no one will take away your joy.

²³ And on that day you will put no questions to me. Truly I say to you, Whatever request you make to the Father, he will give it to you in my name.

²⁴ Up to now you have made no request in my name: do so, and it will be answered, so that your hearts may be full of joy.

²⁵ All this I have said to you in veiled language: but the time is coming when I will no longer say things in veiled language but will give you knowledge of the Father clearly.

²⁶ In that day you will make requests in my name: and I do not say that I will make prayer to the Father for you,

²⁷ For the Father himself gives his love to you, because you have given your love to me and have had faith that I came from God.

²⁸ I came out from the Father and have come into the world: again, I go away from the world and go to the Father.

²⁹ His disciples said, Now you are talking clearly and not in veiled language.

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

¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this which he says of the little while? We do not know of what he speaks.

¹⁹ Jesus knew therefore that they desired to demand of him, and said to them, Do ye inquire of this among yourselves that I said, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me?

²⁰ Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, ye, but the world shall rejoice; and ye will be grieved, but your grief shall be turned to joy.

²¹ A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief because her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the trouble, on account of the joy that a man has been born into the world.

²² And ye now therefore have grief; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you.

²³ And in that day ye shall demand nothing of me: verily, verily, I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

²⁴ Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

²⁵ These things I have spoken to you in allegories; the hour is coming that I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but will declare to you openly concerning the Father.

²⁶ In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I say not to you that I will demand of the Father for you,

²⁷ for the Father himself has affection for you, because ye have had affection for me, and have believed that I came out from God.

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

²⁹ His disciples say to him, Lo, now thou speakest openly and utterest no allegory.

¹⁷ Then some of the disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith to us: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me, and, because I go to the Father?

¹⁸ They said therefore: What is this that he saith, A little while? we know not what he speaketh.

¹⁹ And Jesus knew that they had a mind to ask him; and he said to them: Of this do you inquire among yourselves, because I said: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me?

²⁰ Amen, amen I say to you, that you shall lament and weep, but the world shall rejoice; and you shall be made sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman, when she is in labour, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she hath brought forth the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

²² So also you now indeed have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice; and your joy no man shall take from you.

²³ And in that day you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen I say to you: if you ask the Father any thing in my name, he will give it you.

²⁴ Hitherto you have not asked any thing in my name. Ask, and you shall receive; that your joy may be full.

²⁵ These things I have spoken to you in proverbs. The hour cometh, when I will no more speak to you in proverbs, but will shew you plainly of the Father.

²⁶ In that day you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I will ask the Father for you:

²⁷ For the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again I leave the world, and I go to the Father.

²⁹ His disciples say to him: Behold, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no proverb.

¹⁷ Then some of His disciples said to one another, “What is this that He says to us, ‘A little while and you will not see Me; and again a little while and you will see Me’; and, ‘I am going to the Father’?”

¹⁸ Therefore they said, “What is this that He says, ‘A little while’? We do not understand what He is saying.”

¹⁹ Now Jesus knew that they were desiring to ask Him, and He said to them, “Are you inquiring with one another that I said, ‘A little while and you will not see Me; and again a little while and you will see Me’?

²⁰ Most assuredly I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be grieved, but your grief will be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman, whenever she gives birth, has sorrow, because her hour has come; but whenever the child is born, she no longer remembers the anguish, on account of the joy that a child has been born into the world.

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

²³ And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you 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, that your joy may be full.

²⁵ “These things I have spoken to you in figures of speech; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.

²⁶ In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will beseech 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 I have come into the world. Again, I am leaving the world and I am going to the Father.”

²⁹ His disciples said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech!

¹⁷ Then some of His disciples said among themselves: “What is this that He is telling us, ‘In just a little you will not see me, and in another little you will see me,’ and because ‘I am going to the Father’?”

¹⁸ So they said: “What is this ‘little’ that He mentions? We do not know what He is talking about.”

¹⁹ Well Jesus knew that they were wanting to question Him and said to them: “Are you inquiring among yourselves about what I said, ‘In just a little you will not see me, and in another little you will see me’?

²⁰ Most assuredly I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will become grieved, but your grief will be turned into joy.

²¹ When a woman gives birth she has pain, because her time has come; but when the child is born she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.

²² So in your turn you are now experiencing grief, but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.

²³ In that day you will not question me about anything. “Most assuredly I say to you that whatever you ask the Father in my name He will give you.

²⁴ Until now you have not asked anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.

²⁵ “I have told you these things using figures of speech, but a time is coming when I will no longer talk to you with figures of speech; rather I will tell you plainly about the Father.

²⁶ In that day you will ask in my name; I do not say to you that I will request the Father on your behalf,

²⁷ because the Father Himself is fond of you, in that you have become fond of me and have believed that I came forth from God.

²⁸ I did come forth from the Father and have come into the world. I am leaving the world again and am going to the Father.”

²⁹ His disciples say to Him: “Hey, now you are speaking plainly and using no figure of speech!

¹⁷ Some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean, ‘In a little while you won't see me, but a little while after that you will see me’? and ‘For I'm going to the Father’?”

¹⁸ They were asking, “What does he mean by ‘in a little while’? We don't know what he's talking about.”

¹⁹ Jesus realized that they wanted to ask him about this. So he asked them, “Are you wondering about my comment, ‘In a little while you won't see me, but a little while after that you will see me’?

²⁰ I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will turn into joy.

²¹ A woman in labor suffers pain because her time has come, but once the baby is born, she forgets the agony because of the joy that a child has been brought into the world.

²² Yes, you're grieving now, but I will see you again; and you will rejoice, and no one can take away your joy.

²³ When that time comes you won't need to ask me for anything. I tell you the truth, the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.

²⁴ Until now you haven't asked for anything in my name, so ask and you shall receive, and your happiness will be complete.

²⁵ I've been talking to you using picture language. But soon I won't use such picture language any more when I speak to you. Instead I'll explain the Father to you very plainly.

²⁶ At that time you will ask in my name. I'm not saying to you that I will plead with the Father on your behalf,

²⁷ for the Father himself loves you—because you love me and believe that I came from God.

²⁸ I left the Father and came into the world; now I leave the world and return to my Father.”

²⁹ Then the disciples said, “Now you're talking very plainly and not using picture language.

¹⁷ Then said some of his disciples among them selues, What is this that he saieth vnto vs, A litle while, and ye shall not see me, and againe, a litle while, and ye shall see me, and, For I goe to the Father.

¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A litle while? we know not what he sayeth.

¹⁹ Now Iesus knew that they would aske him, and said vnto them, Doe ye enquire among your selues, of that I said, A litle while, and ye shall not see me: and againe, a litle while, and yee shall see me?

²⁰ Verely, verely I say vnto you, that ye shall weepe and lament, and the worlde shall reioyce: and ye shall sorowe, but your sorowe shalbe turned to ioye.

²¹ A woman when she traueileth, hath sorowe, because her houre is come: but assoone as she is deliuered of the childe, she remembreth no more the anguish, for ioy that a man is borne into the world.

²² And ye nowe therefore are in sorowe: but I will see you againe, and your hearts shall reioyce, and your ioy shall no man take from you.

²³ And in that day shall ye aske me nothing. Verely, verely I say vnto you, whatsoeuer ye shall aske the Father in my Name, he will giue it you.

²⁴ Hitherto haue ye asked nothing in my Name: aske, and ye shall receiue, that your ioye may be full.

²⁵ These things haue I spoken vnto you in parables: but the time will come, when I shall no more speake to you in parables: but I shall shew you plainely of the Father.

²⁶ At that day shall ye aske in my Name, and I say not vnto you, that I will pray vnto the Father for you:

²⁷ For the Father himselfe loueth you, because ye haue loued me, and haue beleeued that I came out from God.

²⁸ I am come out from the Father, and came into the worlde: againe I leaue the worlde, and goe to the Father.

²⁹ His disciples saide vnto him, Loe, nowe speakest thou plainely, and thou speakest no parable.

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?

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

¹⁹ Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire 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?

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.

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.

²² And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

²³ And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

²⁴ Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

²⁵ These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.

²⁶ At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:

²⁷ for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

²⁹ His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

¹⁷ Some 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?

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

¹⁹ Jesus 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?

²⁰ Truly, 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.

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

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

²³ And 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.

²⁴ Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name; ask, and ye will receive, that your joy may be made full.

²⁵ These things I have spoken to you in parables. The time is coming, when I shall no more speak to you in parables, but shall tell you plainly of the Father.

²⁶ In that day ye will ask in my name; and I do not tell you that I will pray the Father for you;

²⁷ for the Father himself loveth you, because ye 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, Lo! now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no parable.

¹⁷ At this some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying to us ‘In a little while you will not see me, and then in a little while you will see me indeed’; and by saying ‘Because I am going to the Father’?

¹⁸ What does he mean by ‘In a little while’?” they said; “we do not know what he is speaking about.”

¹⁹ Jesus saw that they were wanting to ask him a question, and said, “Are you trying to find out from one another what I meant by saying ‘In a little while you will not see me; and then in a little while you will see me indeed’?

²⁰ In truth I tell you that you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will suffer pain, but your pain will turn to joy.

²¹ A woman in labour is in pain because her time has come; but no sooner is the child born, than she forgets her trouble in her joy that a child has been born into the world.

²² You, in the same way, are sorry now; but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will rob you of your joy.

²³ And at that time you will not ask me anything; in truth I tell you, if you ask the Father for anything, he will grant it to you in my name.

²⁴ So far you have not asked for anything, in my name; ask, and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

²⁵ I have spoken to you of all this in figures; a time is coming, however, when I will not speak any longer to you in figures, but will tell you about the Father plainly.

²⁶ You will ask, at that time, in my name; and I do not say that I will intercede with the Father for you;

²⁷ for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from the Father.

²⁸ I came out from the Father, and have come into the world; and now I am to leave the world, and go to the Father.”

²⁹ “At last,” exclaimed the disciples, “you are using plain words and not speaking in figures at all.

¹⁷ At this some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying to us ‘In a little while you will not see me, and then in a little while you will see me indeed’; and by saying ‘Because I am going to the Father’?

¹⁸ What does he mean by ‘In a little while’?” they said; “we do not know what he is speaking about.”

¹⁹ Jesus saw that they were wanting to ask him a question, and said, “Are you trying to find out from one another what I meant by saying ‘In a little while you will not see me; and then in a little while you will see me indeed’?

²⁰ In truth I tell you that you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will suffer pain, but your pain will turn to joy.

²¹ A woman in labor is in pain because her time has come; but no sooner is the child born, than she forgets her trouble in her joy that a child has been born into the world.

²² You, in the same way, are sorry now; but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will rob you of your joy.

²³ And at that time you will not ask me anything; in truth I tell you, if you ask the Father for anything, he will grant it to you in my name.

²⁴ So far you have not asked for anything, in my name; ask, and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

²⁵ I have spoken to you of all this in figures; a time is coming, however, when I will not speak any longer to you in figures, but will tell you about the Father plainly.

²⁶ You will ask, at that time, in my name; and I do not say that I will intercede with the Father for you;

²⁷ for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from the Father.

²⁸ I came out from the Father, and have come into the world; and now I am to leave the world, and go to the Father.”

²⁹ “At last,” exclaimed the disciples, “you are using plain words and not speaking in figures at all.

¹⁷ Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;’ and, ‘Because I go to haAbba ·the Father·’?”

¹⁸ They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”

¹⁹ Therefore Yeshua Salvation perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?’

²⁰ Most certainly I tell you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow, because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she does not remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.

²² Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

²³ “In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of haAbba ·the Father· in my name, he will give it to you.

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

²⁵ I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about haAbba ·the Father·.

²⁶ In that day you will ask in my name; and I don’t say to you, that I will pray to haAbba ·the Father· for you,

²⁷ for haAbba ·the Father· himself phileo ·affectionate loves, has high regard for· you, because you have phileo ·affectionate loves, high regard for· me, and have believed that I came from God.

²⁸ I came from haAbba ·the Father·, and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world, and go to haAbba ·the Father·.”

²⁹ His disciples said to him, “Behold, now you speak plainly, and speak no figures of speech.

¹⁷ Then sayd some of his disciples bitwene them selves: what is this that he sayth vnto vs after a whyle ye shall not se me and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me: and that I go to the father.

¹⁸ They sayd therfore: what is this that he sayth after a whyle? we cannot tell what he sayth.

¹⁹ Iesus perceaved that they wolde axe him and sayd vnto them: This is it that ye enquyre of bitwene youre selves that I sayd after a whyle ye shall not se me and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me.

²⁰ Verely verely I saye vnto you: ye shall wepe and lamet and the worlde shall reioyce. Ye shall sorowe: but youre sorowe shalbe tourned to ioye.

²¹ A woman when she traveyleth hath sorowe because her houre is come: but assone as she is delivered of the chylde she remembreth no moare the anguysshe for ioye that a man is borne in to the worlde.

²² And ye now are in sorowe: but I will se you agayne and youre hertes shall reioyce and youre ioye shall no man take from you.

²³ And in that daye shall ye axe me no question. Verely verely I saye vnto you whatsoever ye shall axe the father in my name he will geve it you.

²⁴ Hitherto have ye axed nothinge in my name. Axe and ye shall receave it: that youre ioye maye be full.

²⁵ These thinges have I spoken vnto you in proverbes. The tyme will come when I shall no moare speake to you in proverbes: but I shall shewe you playnly from my father.

²⁶ At that daye shall ye axe in myne name. And I saye not vnto you that I will speake vnto my father for you.

²⁷ For the father him selfe loveth you because ye have loved me and have beleved that I came out from God.

²⁸ I went out from the father and came into the worlde: and I leve the worlde agayne and go to the father.

²⁹ His disciples sayd vnto him: loo now speakest thou playnly and thou vsest no proverbe.

¹⁷ Then some of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, 'A short amount of time you will no longer see me and after another short amount of time you will see me,' and, 'Because I go to the Father'?”

¹⁸ Therefore they said, “What is this that he says, 'A short amount of time'? We do not know what he is talking about.”

¹⁹ Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, 'A little while and you will no longer see me, and again a little while and you will see me'?

²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will be glad. You will become full of sadness, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

²¹ When a woman gives birth she has sadness because her hour has come, but when she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers her pain because of her joy that a man has been born into the world.

²² So you have sadness now, but I will see you again, and your heart will be glad, and no one will be able to take away your joy from you.

²³ On that day you will not ask me anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

²⁴ Until now you have not asked anything in my name. Ask, and you will receive so that your joy will be fulfilled.

²⁵ I have said these things to you in figures of speech, but the hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but instead I will tell you plainly about the Father.

²⁶ On that day you will ask in my name and I do not say to you that I will pray to the Father for you,

²⁷ for the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and because you have believed that I came from the Father.

²⁸ I came from the Father, and I have come into the world. Again, I am leaving the world and I am going to the Father.”

²⁹ His disciples said, “See, now you are speaking plainly and you are not using figures of speech.

¹⁷ Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;’ and, ‘Because I go to the Father’?”

¹⁸ They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”

¹⁹ Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?’

²⁰ Most certainly I tell you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.

²² Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

²³ “In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

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

²⁵ “I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

²⁶ In that day you will ask in my name; and I don’t say to you that I will pray to the Father for you,

²⁷ for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.

²⁸ I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”

²⁹ His disciples said to him, “Behold, now you are speaking plainly, and using no figures of speech.

¹⁷ Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;’ and, ‘Because I go to the Father’?”

²⁰ Most certainly I tell you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.

²⁸ I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”

²⁹ His disciples said to him, “Behold, now you are speaking plainly, and using no figures of speech.

¹⁷ Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith to 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?

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

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

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

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.

²² And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

²³ And in that day ye will ask me nothing: Verily, verily, I say to you, Whatever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

²⁴ Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

²⁵ These things have I spoken to you in proverbs: but the time cometh when I shall no more speak to you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly concerning the Father.

²⁶ At that day ye will ask in my name: and I say not to you, that I will pray the Father for you:

²⁷ For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.

²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

²⁹ His disciples said to him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

¹⁷ Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;’ and, ‘Because I go to the Father’?”

²⁸ I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”

²⁹ His disciples said to him, “Behold, now you are speaking plainly, and using no figures of speech.

¹⁷ Therefore some of his disciples said together, What is this thing that he saith to us, A little, and ye shall not see me; and again a little, and ye shall see me, for I go to the Father?

¹⁸ Therefore they said, What is this that he saith to us, A little? we know not what he speaketh.

¹⁹ And Jesus knew, that they would ask him, and he said to them, Of this thing ye seek among you, for I said, A little, and ye shall not see me; and again a little, and ye shall see me.

²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you, that ye shall mourn and weep, but the world shall have joy; and ye shall be sorrow-ful, but your sorrow shall turn into joy.

²¹ A woman when she beareth child, hath heaviness or sorrow, for her time is come; but when she hath born a son, now she thinketh not on the pain, for joy, for a man is born into the world.

²² And therefore ye have now sorrow, but again I shall see you, and your heart shall have joy, and no man shall take from you your joy.

²³ And in that day ye shall not ask me anything; truly, truly, I say to you, if ye ask the Father anything in my name, he shall give it to you.

²⁴ Till now ye asked nothing in my name; ask ye, and ye shall take, that your joy be full.

²⁵ I have spoken to you these things in proverbs; the hour cometh, when now I shall not speak to you in proverbs, but openly of my Father I shall tell to you.

²⁶ In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I shall pray the Father for you;

²⁷ for the Father himself loveth you, for ye have loved me, and have believed, that I went out from God.

²⁸ I went out from the Father, and I came into the world; again I leave the world, and go to the Father.

²⁹ His disciples said to him, Lo! now thou speakest openly, and thou sayest no proverb.

¹⁷ Therefore some of his disciples said together, What is this thing that he saith to us, A little, and ye shall not see me; and again a little, and ye shall see me, for I go to the Father?

¹⁸ Therefore they said, What is this that he saith to us, A little? we know not what he speaketh.

¹⁹ And Jesus knew, that they would ask him, and he said to them, Of this thing ye seek among you(rselves), for I said, A little, and ye shall not see me; and again a little, and ye shall see me.

²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you, (or Truly, I tell you the truth), that ye shall mourn and weep, but the world shall have joy; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall turn into joy.

²¹ A woman when she beareth (a) child, hath heaviness or sorrow, for her time is come; but when she hath born a son, now she thinketh not on the pain, for (or because of her) joy, for a man is born into the world.

²² And therefore ye have now sorrow, but again I shall see you, and your heart(s) shall have joy, and no man shall take from you your joy.

²³ And in that day ye shall not ask (of) me anything; truly, truly, I say to you, if ye ask the Father (for) anything in my name, he shall give it to you. (And on that day ye shall ask nothing of me; truly, I tell you the truth, if ye ask the Father for anything in my name, he shall give it to you.)

²⁴ Till now ye (have) asked nothing in my name; ask ye, and ye shall take, (or ask, and ye shall receive), (so) that your joy be full.

²⁵ I have spoken to you these things in proverbs; the hour cometh, when now I shall not speak to you in proverbs, but openly of my Father I shall tell to you or but openly of my Father I shall tell you.

²⁶ In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I shall pray (to) the Father for you;

²⁷ for the Father himself loveth you, for ye have loved me, and have believed, that I went out from God.

²⁸ I went out from the Father, and I came into the world; again I leave the world, and go to the Father.

²⁹ His disciples said to him, Lo! now thou speakest openly, and thou sayest no proverb.

¹⁷ Therfor summe of hise disciplis seiden togidere, What is this thing that he seith to vs, A litil, and ye schulen not se me; and eftsoone a litil, and ye schulen se me, for Y go to the fadir?

¹⁸ Therfor thei seiden, What is this that he seith to vs, A litil? we witen not what he spekith.

¹⁹ And Jhesus knew, that thei wolden axe hym, and he seide to hem, Of this thing ye seken among you, for Y seide, A litil, and ye schulen not se me; and eftsoone a litil, and ye schulen se me.

²⁰ Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, that ye schulen mourne and wepe, but the world schal haue ioye; and ye schulen be soreuful, but youre sorewe schal turne in to ioye.

²¹ A womman whanne sche berith child, hath heuynesse, for hir tyme is comun; but whanne sche hath borun a sone, now sche thenkith not on the peyne, for ioye, for a man is borun in to the world.

²² And therfor ye han now sorew, but eftsoone Y schal se you, and youre herte schal haue ioie, and no man schal take fro you youre ioie.

²³ And in that day ye schulen not axe me ony thing; treuli, treuli, `Y seie to you, if ye axen the fadir ony thing in my name, he schal yyue to you.

²⁴ `Til now ye axiden no thing in my name; `axe ye, `and ye schulen take, that youre ioie be ful.

²⁵ Y haue spokun to you these thingis in prouerbis; the our cometh, whanne now Y schal not speke to you in prouerbis, but opynli of my fadir Y schal telle to you.

²⁶ In that dai ye schulen axe in my name; and Y seie not to you, that Y schal preye the fadir of you;

²⁷ for the fadir hym silf loueth you, for ye han loued me, and han bileued, that Y wente out fro God.

²⁸ Y wente out fro the fadir, and Y cam in to the world; eftsoone Y leeue the world, and Y go to the fadir.

²⁹ Hise disciplis seiden to hym, Lo! now thou spekist opynli, and thou seist no prouerbe.

¹⁷ Therefore said some of his disciples one to another, 'What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away unto the Father?'

¹⁸ they said then, 'What is this he saith — the little while? we have not known what he saith.'

¹⁹ Jesus, therefore, knew that they were wishing to ask him, and he said to them, 'Concerning this do ye seek one with another, because I said, A little while, and you do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me?

²⁰ verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow joy will become.

²¹ 'The woman, when she may bear, hath sorrow, because her hour did come, and when she may bear the child, no more doth she remember the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born to the world.

²² 'And ye, therefore, now, indeed, have sorrow; and again I will see you, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one doth take from you,

²³ and in that day ye will question me nothing; verily, verily, I say to you, as many things as ye may ask of the Father in my name, He will give you;

²⁴ till now ye did ask nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

²⁵ 'These things in similitudes I have spoken to you, but there cometh an hour when no more in similitudes will I speak to you, but freely of the Father, will tell you.

²⁶ 'In that day, in my name ye will make request, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you,

²⁷ for the Father himself doth love you, because me ye have loved, and ye have believed that I from God came forth;

²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and have come to the world; again I leave the world, and go on unto the Father.'

²⁹ His disciples say to him, 'Lo, now freely thou dost speak, and no similitude speakest thou;
