You
will be sorrowful but your grief will be turned into joy. When a woman
is in labor she is troubled because her hour has come. But as soon as
she delivers the child she remembers her anguish no more because of her
joy over a new birth to the world. So you now have sorrow. But I will
see you again. And your heart will rejoice. And no one can take your
joy from you. In that day you will need to ask nothing of me. Whatever
you ask the Father in my name, he will give you. Until now you have
asked nothing in my name. Ask and you will receive, so your joy may be
full.
I have said these things as examples. But the time will come when I
will use no more examples because I will show you plainly from the
Father. On that day you will ask Him in my name and I will not have to
say that I will ask the Father for you. For the Father Himself loves
you because you love me and believe that I came from God. I came from
the Father and have come into the world. Now I leave the world and go
to the Father.
His disciples said to Him, now you speak plainly. Jesus said, Do you
now believe? The hour comes, yes, has now come, when you will be
scattered and on your own. You will leave me alone. Yet, I am not alone
because the Father is with me. I have said these things to you so that,
in me, you will have peace. In the world you will have tribulation.
