John 16:20-22

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²⁰ Truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn,^(A) but the world will rejoice. You will become sorrowful,^(B) but your sorrow will turn to joy. ²¹ When a woman is in labour, she has pain^(C) because her time has come. But when she has given birth to a child,^(D) she no longer remembers the suffering because of the joy that a person has been born into the world. ²² So you also have sorrow^[a] now. But I will see you again. Your hearts will rejoice,^(E) and no one will take away your joy from you.^(F)
