but
the world will rejoice; and ye will be sorrowful, but your sorrow
shall be turned into joy. (21)A woman when she is in travail has
sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she has borne the child,
she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the
world. (22)And so ye now have sorrow; but I will see you again, and
your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you.
(23)And in that day ye shall ask nothing of me. Verily, verily, I say
to you: Whatever ye shall ask of the Father, he will give it you in my
name. (24)Hitherto ye asked nothing in my name. Ask, and ye shall
receive, that your joy may be made full.
(25)These things I have spoken to you in parables. A time is coming,
when I will no more speak to you in parables, but I will tell you
plainly of the Father. (26)In that day ye shall ask in my name. And I
say not to you, that I will pray the Father for you; (27)for the
Father himself loves you, because ye have loved me, and have believed
that I came forth from God. (28)I came forth from the Father, and have
come into the world; again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
(29)His disciples say to him: Lo, now thou speakest plainly, and
speakest no parable. (30)Now we know that thou knowest all things, and
needest not that any one should ask thee. By this we believe that thou
camest forth from God.
(31)Jesus answered them: Do ye now believe? (32)Behold, an hour is
coming, and has come, that ye will be scattered, each one to his own,
and will leave me alone; and I am not alone, because the Father is
with me.
(33)These things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace.
In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have
overcome the world.

THESE words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said:
Father, the hour has come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify
thee; (2)as thou gayest him authority over all flesh, that as many as
thou hast given to him, to them he should give eternal life. (3)And
this is the eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and
Jesus Christ, whom thou didst send. (4)I glorified thee on the earth;
I finished the work which thou hast given me to do. (5)And now, O
Father, glorify thou me with thine own self, with the glory which I
had with thee before the world was. (6)I manifested thy name to the
men whom thou hast given me out of the world. Thine they were, and
thou hast given them to m
