vw - John:16:17-33

vw@John:16:17 @ Then His disciples said among themselves, What is this that He says to us, A little while, and you do not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me; and, because I go to the Father?

vw@John:16:18 @ They said therefore, What is this that He says, A little while? We do not understand what He says.

vw@John:16:19 @ Now Jesus knew that they desired to ask Him, and He said to them, Do you seek answers among yourselves that I said, A little while, and you do not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me?

vw@John:16:20 @ Truly, truly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will become joy.

vw@John:16:21 @ A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she gives birth to the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a person has been born into the world.

vw@John:16:22 @ Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and no one takes your joy from you.

vw@John:16:23 @ And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.

vw@John:16:24 @ Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

vw@John:16:25 @ These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will clearly make known to you concerning the Father.

vw@John:16:26 @ In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you;

vw@John:16:27 @ for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God.

vw@John:16:28 @ I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.

vw@John:16:29 @ His disciples said to Him, Behold, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech.

vw@John:16:30 @ Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God.

vw@John:16:31 @ Jesus answered them, Do you now believe?

vw@John:16:32 @ Behold, the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you are scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

vw@John:16:33 @ These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have affliction; but be of good courage, I have overcome the world.
