Lamsa(i)
14 He will glorify me; because he will take of my own and show to you.
15 Everything that my Father has is mine; this is the reason why I told you that he will take of my own and show to you.
16 A little while, and you will not see me; and again a little while, and you will see me, because I am going to the Father.
17 Then his disciples said to one another, What is this that he said to us, A little while, and you will not see me; and again a little while, and you will see me; and, because I am going to my Father?
18 And they said, What is this that he said, A little while? We cannot understand what he talks about.
19 Jesus knew that they desired to ask him, and he said to them, Are you inquiring among yourselves concerning this, that I told you, A little while, and you will not see me; and again a little while, and you will see me?
20 Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and wail, and yet the world will rejoice; and you will be sad, but your sadness will be changed into gladness.
21 When a woman is in travail, she is depressed, because her day has arrived; but when she has given birth to a son, she no longer remembers her troubles, because of the joy that a male child * is born into the world.
22 So you also are depressed; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no man will take away from you.
23 In that day you will not ask me anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, that whatever you ask my Father in my name, he will give it to you.
24 Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be full.
25 I have spoken these things in figures; but the time is coming, when I will not speak to you in figures, but will plainly explain to you concerning the Father.
26 In that day you will ask in my name; and I will not say to you, I will ask the Father concerning you.
27 For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father.
28 I came forth from the Father, and I came into the world; again, I am leaving the world and I am going to the Father.
29 His disciples said to him, Behold, now you speak plainly, and do not utter a single figure.
30 Now we understand that you know everything; and you need no man to ask you; by this we believe that you have come forth from God.
31 Jesus said to them, Believe it.
