*
Some of his disciples therefore said to one another ,
What is this that he saith to us ,
A little while ,
and ye behold me not ,
and again a little while ,
and ye will see me ?
and ,
Because I go to the Father ?
*
They said therefore ,
What is this that he saith ,
A little while ?
We do not know what he is speaking of .
*
Jesus knew that they were desirous of asking him ,
and said to them ,
Is it of this that ye are inquiring of one another ,
that I said ,
A little while ,
and ye behold me not ,
and again a little while ,
and ye will See me ?
*
Truly ,
truly do I say to you ,
that ye will weep and lament ,
but the world will rejoice ;
ye will be sorrowful ,
but your sorrow will be turned into joy .
*
A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow ,
because her hour is come ;
but as soon as she is delivered of the child ,
she remembereth no more the anguish ,
through joy that a man is born into the world .
*
So ye also now have sorrow ;
but I shall see you again ,
and your heart will rejoice ,
and your joy no one taketh from you .
*
And in that day ye will ask nothing of me .
Truly ,
truly do I say to you ,
Whatever ye shall ask the Father ,
he will give it you in my name .
*
Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name ;
ask ,
and ye will receive ,
that your joy may be made full .
*
These things I have spoken to you in parables .
The time is coming ,
when I shall no more speak to you in parables ,
but shall tell you plainly of the Father .
*
In that day ye will ask in my name ;
and I do not tell you that I will pray the Father for you ;
*
for the Father himself loveth you ,
because ye have loved me ,
and have believed that I came forth from God .
*
I came forth from the Father ,
and have come into the world ;
again ,
I leave the world ,
and go to the Father .
*
His disciples say ,
Lo !
now thou speakest plainly ,
and speakest no parable .
*
Now are we sure that thou knowest all things ,
and needest not that any one should ask thee ;
by this we believe that thou camest forth from God .
*
Jesus answered them ,
Do ye now believe ?
*
Behold ,
the hour is coming ,
yea ,
is now come ,
when ye will be scattered ,
every one to his own ,
and will leave me alone ;
and yet I am not alone ,
because the Father is with me .
*
These things I have spoken to you ,
that in me ye may have peace .
In the world ye have tribulation ;
but be of good cheer ;
I have overcome the world .
