John 16:19–31

19 Now Jesus oknew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, nA 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 pweep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but qyour sorrow shall be turned into joy. 21 A rwoman 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 ssorrow: but I will see you again, and tyour heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. 23 And uin that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, wWhatsoever 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, xthat 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 yplainly of the Father. 26 zAt that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: 27 For athe Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have bbelieved bcthat I came out from God. 28 cdI came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and ego to the Father.

29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, fnow speakest thou plainly, and speakest no ||proverb. 30 Now are we sure that gthou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this hwe believe that hithou camest forth from God. 31 Jesus answered them, kDo ye now believe?
