15. All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he taketh of mine, and shall declare it unto you.
16. A little while, and ye behold me no more; and again a little while, and ye shall see me.
17. Some of his disciples therefore said one to another, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye behold me not; and again a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?
18. They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? We know not what he saith.
19. Jesus perceived that they were desirous to ask him, and he said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye shall see me?
20. Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
21. A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world.
22. And ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away from you.
23. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name.
24. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be fulfilled.
25. These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: the hour cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but shall tell you plainly of the Father.
26. In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you;
27. for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father.
28. I came out from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go unto the Father.
29. His disciples say, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
30. Now know we that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.
