John 16:20-22

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be grieved, but your grief will become joy. ²¹ The woman has grief when she gives-birth, because her hour came. But when she bears the child, she no longer remembers the affliction because of the joy that a person was born into the world. ²² You then also now have grief— but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice. And no one is going to take away your joy from you.
