John 16:19-21

Living Bible

¹⁹ Jesus realized they wanted to ask him so he said, “Are you asking yourselves what I mean? ²⁰ The world will greatly rejoice over what is going to happen to me, and you will weep. But your weeping shall suddenly be turned to wonderful joy when you see me again.^{[a] 21} It will be the same joy as that of a woman in labor when her child is born—her anguish gives place to rapturous joy and the pain is forgotten.
