Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

John 16
¹¹ of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
¹² I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
¹³ However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
¹⁴ He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.
¹⁵ All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.
¹⁶ "A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go to the Father."
¹⁷ Then some of His disciples said among themselves, "What is this that He says to us, ’A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’; and, ’because I go to the Father’?"
¹⁸ They said therefore, "What is this that He says, ’A little while’? We do not know what He is saying."
¹⁹ Now Jesus knew that they desired to ask Him, and He said to them, "Are you inquiring among yourselves about what I said, ’A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’?
²⁰ Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.
²¹ A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.
