A little while, and, no longer, ye behold me; and, again a little while, and ye shall see me.

Some of his disciples, therefore, said one to another - What is this which he is saying to us: - A little while, and ye behold me not, and, again a little while, and ye shall see me; and - Because I go my way unto the Father?

They were saying, therefore - What is this which he saith: - A little while? We know not what he is saying.

Jesus took note, that they were wishing to question him, and said unto them - Concerning this, are ye enquiring one with another, - because I said: - A little while, and ye behold me not, and, again, a little while, and ye shall see me?

Verily, verily, I say unto you - Ye, shall weep and lament, but, the world, shall rejoice: Ye, shall be grieved, but, your grief, into joy, shall be turned.

A woman, as soon as she is about to bring forth, hath, grief, because her hour hath come; but, as soon as she hath given birth to the child, no longer, remembereth she the anguish, by reason of the joy, that a human being into the world hath been born.

And, ye, therefore, now, indeed have grief; but, again, will I see you, and your heart shall rejoice, - and, your joy, no one, shall force from you.

And, in that day, shall ye request me, nothing: - Verily, verily, I say unto you - Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father, He will give you, in my name.

Until even now, ye have asked nothing in my name: Be asking, and ye shall receive, - that, your joy, may be made full.

These things, in similitudes, have I spoken unto you: There cometh an hour, when, no longer in similitudes, will I speak unto you, but, openly, concerning the Father, will I tell you.

In that day, In my name, shall ye ask: - and I say not that, I, will request the Father for you;

For, the Father himself, dearly loveth you, because, ye, have dearly loved me, and believed that, I, from the Father, came forth: -

I came forth out of the Father, and have come into the world, - Again, I leave the world, and go, unto the Father.

His disciples say - See! now, openly, art thou speaking, and, not a single similitude, art thou using:

Now, we know, that thou knowest all things, and hast, no need, that one be questioning thee. Hereby, do we believe, that, from God, thou camest forth.

Jesus answered them - As yet, ye believe:

Lo! there cometh an hour, and hath come, that ye should be scattered, each, unto his own home; and, me, alone, should leave; - And yet I am not, alone, but, the Father, is, with me!

These things, have I spoken unto you, that, in me, ye may have, peace: In the world, ye have, tribulation; but be taking courage, - I, have overcome the world.
