These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

Verily, verily I say unto you, Ye shall weep and lament, and the world shall rejoice. Ye shall sorrow: but your sorrow shall be turned to joy.

A woman when she travaileth hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

And ye now are in sorrow: but I will see you again, and your hearts shall rejoice, and your joy shall no man take from you.

Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name. Ask and ye shall receive it: that our joy may be full.

Now come I to thee, and these words speak I in the world, that they might have my joy full in them.

He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: But the friend of the bridegroom which standeth by and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly of the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this, my joy, is fulfilled.
