John 16:19 in Context — John 16
17 Là-dessus, quelques-uns de ses disciples dirent entre eux: Que signifie ce qu’il nous dit: Encore un peu de temps, et vous ne me verrez plus; et puis encore un peu de temps, et vous me verrez? Et: Parce que je vais au Père?
18 Ils disaient donc: Que signifie ce qu’il dit: Encore un peu de temps? Nous ne savons de quoi il parle.
19 Jésus connut qu’ils voulaient l’interroger, et il leur dit: Vous vous questionnez les uns les autres sur ce que j’ai dit: Encore un peu de temps, et vous ne me verrez plus; et puis encore un peu de temps, et vous me verrez.
20 En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, vous pleurerez et vous vous lamenterez, et le monde se réjouira: vous serez dans la tristesse, mais votre tristesse se changera en joie.
21 La femme, lorsqu’elle enfante, éprouve de la tristesse, parce que son heure est venue; mais, lorsqu’elle a donné le jour à l’enfant, elle ne se souvient plus de la souffrance, à cause de la joie qu’elle a de ce qu’un homme est né dans le monde.
