John 16:23-27

23When that day comes, you won’t ask me any more questions. I can guarantee this truth: If you ask the Father for anything in my name, he will give it to you.

24So far you haven’t asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive so that you can be completely happy.

25“I have used examples to illustrate these things. The time is coming when I won’t use examples to speak to you. Rather, I will speak to you about the Father in plain words.

26When that day comes, you will ask for what you want in my name. I’m telling you that I won’t have to ask the Father for you.

27The Father loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
