20. Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, and the world shall rejoice; but even though ye shall be sorrowful, your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
21. The woman, when she is in travail, has pain, because her hour is come; but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers the anguish no more, 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 no one shall take your joy from you.
23. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.
24. Until now ye have asked nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be fulfilled.
