Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 22. The joy you will feel at my resurrection, shall ever be unalterable, and unremitting, because there I shall give you assurances and proofs of your future resurrection, and immortality. As you have been partakers in my labours, in my ignominies, and in my sorrows, so also shall you have a share in my glory, in my resurrection, and immortal bliss. Behold, these will rise to your ever unalterable and permanent joy. This is the opinion of Saint John Chrysostom S. Cyril, Theophyl. and others.
