John 16:22 BBE

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.

²³  And on that day you will put no questions to me. Truly I say to you, Whatever request you make to the Father, he will give it to you in my name.

²⁴  Up to now you have made no request in my name: do so, and it will be answered, so that your hearts may be full of joy.
