Bible in Basic English

22

So you have sorrow now: but I will see you again, and your hearts will be glad, and no one will take away your joy.

23

And on that day you will put no questions to me. Truly I say to you, Whatever request you make to the Father, he will give it to you in my name.

24

Up to now you have made no request in my name: do so, and it will be answered, so that your hearts may be full of joy.

25

All this I have said to you in veiled language: but the time is coming when I will no longer say things in veiled language but will give you knowledge of the Father clearly.

26

In that day you will make requests in my name: and I do not say that I will make prayer to the Father for you,

27

For the Father himself gives his love to you, because you have given your love to me and have had faith that I came from God.

28

I came out from the Father and have come into the world: again, I go away from the world and go to the Father.

29

His disciples said, Now you are talking clearly and not in veiled language.

30

Now we are certain that you have knowledge of all things and have no need for anyone to put questions to you: through this we have faith that you came from God.

31

Jesus made answer, Have you faith now?

32

See, a time is coming, yes, it is now here, when you will go away in all directions, every man to his house, and I will be by myself: but I am not by myself, because the Father is with me.

33

I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble: but take heart! I have overcome the world.
