John 16:19-21

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁹ Now Jesus knew that they would ask Him, and said to them, “Do you inquire among yourselves about what I said, ‘A little while, and you shall not see Me. And again, a little while, and you shall see Me’?

²⁰ “Truly, truly I say to you, that you shall weep and lament. And the world shall rejoice. And you shall grieve. But your grief shall be turned to joy.

²¹ “A woman, when she gives birth, has pain because her hour has come. But as soon as she delivers the child, she remembers the anguish no more, on account of the joy that a man is born into the world.
