John 16:14-25 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

14. He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine and shall announce it to you.

15. All things that the Father has are mine; on account of this I have said that he receives of mine and shall announce it to you.

16. A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, because I go away to the Father.

17. Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, What is this he says to us, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away to the Father?

18. They said therefore, What is this which he says of the little while? We do not know of what he speaks.

19. Jesus knew therefore that they desired to demand of him, and said to them, Do ye inquire of this among yourselves that I said, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me?

20. Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, ye, but the world shall rejoice; and ye will be grieved, but your grief shall be turned to joy.

21. A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief because her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the trouble, on account of the joy that a man has been born into the world.

22. And ye now therefore have grief; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you.

23. And in that day ye shall demand nothing of me: verily, verily, I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

24. Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

25. These things I have spoken to you in allegories; the hour is coming that I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but will declare to you openly concerning the Father.
