And you now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man takes from you.
All Commentaries on John 16:22 Go To John 16
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
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 St. Chrysostom, St. Cyril, Theophylactus, and others.
