John 16:23-27

23In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

24Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

25"I have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father.

26In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf;

27for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
