Berean Standard Bible

“Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.”

John 16:24

Save as image

Study note

Jesus has compared the disciples' coming grief and joy to a woman in labor whose anguish gives way to joy when her child is born. He then speaks of the new relationship with the Father that his death and resurrection will open to them.
