17And he said to them, “What is this conversation that you are holding with each other as you walk?” And they stood still, looking sad. 18Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?” 19And he said to them, “What things?” And they said to him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was ia prophet jmighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20and khow our chief priests and lrulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21But we had hoped that he was mthe one to redeem Israel.

Your Sorrow Will Turn into Joy
16 ae“A little while, and you will see me no longer; and afagain a little while, and you will see me.” 17So agsome of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ah‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’; and, ai‘because I am going to the Father’?” 18So they were saying, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? ajWe do not know what he is talking about.” 19 akJesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, “Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, ‘A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me’? 20Truly, truly, I say to you, alyou will weep and lament, but amthe world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but anyour sorrow will turn into joy. 21 aoWhen a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. 22 apSo also you have sorrow now, but aqI will see you again, and aryour hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.
