John 16:20-22

New Century Version

²⁰ I tell you the truth, you will cry and be sad, but the world will be happy. You will be sad, but your sadness will become joy. ²¹ When a woman gives birth to a baby, she has pain, because her time has come. But when her baby is born, she forgets the pain, because she is so happy that a child has been born into the world. ²² It is the same with you. Now you are sad, but I will see you again and you will be happy, and no one will take away your joy.
