John 16:19-21

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁹ Jesus knew they wanted to question Him, so He said to them, “Are you asking one another about what I said, ‘A little while and you will not see Me; again a little while and you will see Me’?

²⁰ “I assure you: You will weep and wail,^(A) but the world will rejoice. You will become sorrowful,^(B) but your sorrow will turn to joy. ²¹ When a woman is in labor she has pain^(C) because her time has come. But when she has given birth to a child,^(D) she no longer remembers the suffering because of the joy that a person has been born into the world.
