22
The sadness you have right now is similar to that pain, but the coming joy is also similar. When I see you again, you'll be full of joy, and it will be a joy no one can rob from you.
22
So you also have sorrow now. But I will see you again. Your hearts will rejoice, and no one will rob you of your joy.
John 16:22 In-Context
20
Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.
21
A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world.
22
So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.
23
In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
24
Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.
