John 16:20-22

Modern English Version

²⁰ Truly, truly I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy. ²¹ When a woman is giving birth, she has pain, because her hour has come. But as soon as she delivers the child, she no longer remembers the anguish for joy that a child is born into the world. ²² Therefore you now have sorrow. But I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.
