Your Sorrow Will Turn into Joy

^16 (A)“A little while, and you will see me no longer; and ^(B)again a little while, and you will see me.” ¹⁷ So ^(C)some of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ^(D)‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’; and, ^(E)‘because I am going to the Father’?” ¹⁸ So they were saying, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? ^(F)We do not know what he is talking about.”

^23 (A)In that day you will ^(B)ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(C)whatever you ask of the Father in my name, ^(D)he will give it to you. ²⁴ Until now you have asked nothing in my name. ^(E)Ask, and you will receive, ^(F)that your joy may be full.

²⁶ In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; ^27 (A)for the Father himself loves you, because ^(B)you have loved me and ^(C)have believed that I came from God.^{[a] 28 (D)}I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now ^(E)I am leaving the world and going to the Father.”
