John 16:19 in Context — John 16

17 Disseram pois [alguns] de seus discípulos uns aos outros: Que é isto que ele nos diz: Um pouco, e não me vereis; e mais um pouco, e me vereis; e porque vou ao Pai?

18 Então diziam: Que é isto que ele diz? Um pouco? Não sabemos o que diz.

19 Conheceu pois Jesus que lhe queriam perguntar, e disse-lhes: Perguntais entre vós sobre isto que disse: Um pouco, e não me vereis; e mais um pouco, e me vereis?

20 Em verdade, em verdade vos digo, que vós chorareis, e lamentareis, e o mundo se alegrará, e vós estareis tristes; mas vossa tristeza se tornará em alegria.

21 A mulher quando está no parto tem tristeza, porque sua hora é vinda; mas havendo nascido a criança, já não se lembra da aflição, pela alegria de um homem ter nascido no mundo.
