John 16:20-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁰ Amen, amen I say to you, that you shall lament and weep, but the world shall rejoice; and you shall be made sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman, when she is in labour, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she hath brought forth the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

²² So also you now indeed have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice; and your joy no man shall take from you.

²³ And in that day you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen I say to you: if you ask the Father any thing in my name, he will give it you.
