John 16:21-23

Expanded Bible

²¹ When a woman ·gives birth to a baby [goes into labor], she has pain, because her ·time [^Lhour] has come. But when her baby is born, she ·forgets the pain [does not remember the suffering/affliction], because ·she is so happy [^Lof the joy] that a ·child [^Lhuman being] has been born into the world. ²² It is the same with you. Now you are ·sad [sorrowful; in pain; grieving], but I will see you again and ·you [^Lyour heart] will ·be happy [rejoice], and no one will take away your joy. ²³ In that day [^Cafter his resurrection] you will not ask me for anything. ·I tell you the truth [^LTruly, truly I say to you], my Father will give you anything you ask for in my name [see 14:13].
