John 16 — Context

21

A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

22

And you now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man takes from you.

23

And in that day you shall ask me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you, Whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

24

Till now have you asked nothing in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.

25

These things have I spoken to you in proverbs: but the time comes, when I shall no more speak to you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father.

26

At that day you shall ask in my name: and I say not to you, that I will pray the Father for you:

27

For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
