God's Word Translation

John 16:18-20 God's Word Translation (GW)

18. So they were asking each other, “What does he mean when he says, ‘In a little while’? We don’t understand what he’s talking about.”

19. Jesus knew they wanted to ask him something. So he said to them, “Are you trying to figure out among yourselves what I meant when I said, ‘In a little while you won’t see me, and in a little while you will see me again’?

20. I can guarantee this truth: You will cry because you are sad, but the world will be happy. You will feel pain, but your pain will turn to happiness.
