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.
