John 16:20 BBE

¹⁸  So they said again and again, What is this he is saying, A little time? His words are not clear to us.

¹⁹  Jesus saw that they had a desire to put the question to him, so he said to them, Is this what you are questioning one with another, why I said, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me?

²⁰  Truly I say to you, You will be weeping and sorrowing, but the world will be glad: you will be sad, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

²¹  When a woman is about to give birth she has sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she has given birth to the child, the pain is put out of her mind by the joy that a man has come into the world.

²²  So you have sorrow now: but I will see you again, and your hearts will be glad, and no one will take away your joy.
