12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 When ^tthe Spirit of truth comes, ^uhe will ^vguide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but ^wwhatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He will ^xglorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15 ^yAll that the Father has is mine; ^ztherefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

16 ^a“A little while, and you will see me no longer; and ^bagain a little while, and you will see me.” 17 So ^csome of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ^d‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’; and, ^e‘because I am going to the Father’?” 18 So they were saying, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? ^fWe do not know what he is talking about.” 19 ^gJesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, “Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, ‘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, ^hyou will weep and lament, but ⁱthe world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but ^jyour sorrow will turn into joy. 21 ^kWhen a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. 22 ^lSo also you have sorrow now, but ^mI will see you again, and ⁿyour hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. 23 ^oIn that day you will ^pask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, ^qwhatever you ask of the Father in my name, ^rhe will give it to you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in my name. ^sAsk, and you will receive, ^tthat your joy may be full.
