In context
17 Baadhi ya wanafunzi wake wakaambizana, “Ni nini anachotuambia, “muda mfupi, na hamtaniona tena,' na, kisha, mda mfupi mtaniona,' na, 'kwa sababu naenda kwa Baba?”
18 Kwa hiyo wakasema, “Ni kitu gani anachosema, 'Bado mda mfupi'? Hatujui asemavyo.”
19 Yesu aliona kuwa walitamani kumuuliza, naye akawaambia, “Mnajiuliza wenyewe kuhusu hili, nilivyosema, 'Bado muda mfupi, hamtaniona tena; na baada ya muda mfupi mtaniona'?
20 Amin, amin, nawaambia, mtalia na kuomboleza, lakini ulimwengu utashangilia, mtakuwa na huzuni lakini huzuni yenu itageuka kuwa furaha.
21 Mwanamke anakuwa na huzuni wakati anapokuwa na uchungu kwa sababu wakati wa kujifungua umefika; lakini anapojifungua mtoto, hakumbuki tena maumivu kwa sababu ya furaha yake kwamba mtoto amezaliwa duniani.
22 Ninyi pia mna huzuni sasa, lakini nitawaona tena; na mioyo yenu itafurahi na hakuna atakayeweza kuiondoa furaha yenu.
23 Siku hiyo hamtaniuliza maswali. Amin, Amin, nawaambia, Mkiomba lolote kwa Baba, atawapa kwa jina langu.
