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 in a
little while and ye shall see me because I go to the Father? They said
therefore, What is this that He saith, A little while? we cannot tell
what He saith. 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 in a little while, ye shall see me?
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. 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 because of her joy over a new birth to the world. So ye now
have sorrow. But I will see you again. And your heart shall rejoice. And
your joy no man can take from you. In that day ye shall need ask of
me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall ask
the Father in my name he will give it to you. Until now ye have asked
nothing in my name. Ask. And ye shall receive so your joy may be full.
These things I have spoken unto you in proverbs. But the time cometh when
I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs but I shall show you plainly
of the Father. At that day ye shall ask in my name. And I say not unto
you, that I will pray the Father for you. For the Father Himself loveth
you because ye have loved me and have believed that I came from God. I
came forth from the Father and am come into the world. Now I leave the
world and go to the Father.
His disciples said unto Him, Lo, now speakest Thou plainly and speakest
no proverb. Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? Behold, the hour
cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to
his own. Ye shall leave me alone and, yet, I am not alone because the
Father is with me. These things I have spoken unto you so that in me ye
might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation. But be of good
cheer. I have overcome the world.
