¹⁸ “I will not leave you as orphans; ^(A)I will come to you. ^19 [a](B)After a little while ^(C)the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; ^(D)because I live, you will live also. ^20 (E)In that day you will know that ^(F)I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. ^21 (G)He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and ^(H)he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will ^(I)disclose Myself to him.” ^22 (J)Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened ^(K)that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, “^(L)If anyone loves Me, he will ^(M)keep My word; and ^(N)My Father will love him, and We ^(O)will come to him and make Our abode with him. ²⁴ He who does not love Me ^(P)does not keep My words; and ^(Q)the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

Jesus’ Death and Resurrection Foretold

¹⁶ “^(A)A little while, and ^(B)you will no longer see Me; and again a little while, and ^(C)you will see Me.” ¹⁷ Some of His disciples then said to one another, “What is this thing He is telling us, ‘^(D)A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’; and, ‘because ^(E)I go to the Father’?” ¹⁸ So they were saying, “What is this that He says, ‘A little while’? We do not know what He is talking about.” ^19 (F)Jesus knew that they wished to question Him, and He said to them, “Are you deliberating together about this, that I said, ‘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 ^(G)you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but ^(H)your grief will be turned into joy. ^21 (I)Whenever a woman is in labor she has ^[a]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 ^[b]child has been born into the world. ²² Therefore ^(J)you too have grief now; but ^(K)I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

Prayer Promises

^23 (L)In that day ^(M)you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(N)if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you. ^24 (O)Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your ^(P)joy may be made full.
