Berean Standard Bible

“So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.”

John 16:22

Save as image

Study note

Jesus tells his disciples that they will weep and lament while the world rejoices, but that their grief will turn into joy. He uses the image of a woman in labor whose pain gives way to joy at the birth.
