21. A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.
22. Therefore you now have sorrow, 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 no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
24. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.
25. I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
