10. concerning righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see Me;
11. and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
12. “I still have much more to tell you, but you cannot handle it just now.
13. But when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on His own; but whatever He hears, He will tell you. And He will declare to you the things that are to come.
14. He will glorify Me, because He will take from what is Mine and declare it to you.
15. Everything that the Father has is Mine. For this reason I said the Ruach will take from what is Mine and declare it to you.”
16. “A little while, and you will no longer see Me; and again in a little while, you will see Me.”
17. Then some of His disciples said to one another, “What does He mean by telling us, ‘A little while, and you will no longer see Me; and again in a little while, you will see Me’? And, ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”
18. They kept on saying, “What’s this He’s saying, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what He’s talking about!”
19. Yeshua knew that they wanted to question Him, so He said to them, “Are you asking each other about this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you will no longer see Me; and again in a little while, you will see Me’?
20. Amen, amen I tell you, you will weep and mourn, but the world will celebrate. You will be filled with sorrow, but your sorrow will turn to joy!
21. “When a woman is in labor, she has pain because her hour has come. But when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, because of the joy that a human being has been born into the world.
22. So also you have sorrow now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you!
23. “In that day, you will ask Me nothing. Amen, amen I tell you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.
24. Up to now, you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be full.
25. “These things I have spoken to you in metaphors. An hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in metaphors, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
26. In that day, you will ask in My name—and I’m not telling you that I will ask the Father on your behalf.
