John 16:24-33

241Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your 2joy may be made full.

25“These things I have spoken to you in 34figurative language; 5an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in 6figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father. 267In that day 8you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf; 27for 9the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and 10have believed that 11I came forth from the Father. 2812I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and 13going to the Father.”

29His disciples said, “Lo, now You are speaking plainly and are not 14using 15a figure of speech. 30Now we know that You know all things, and have no need for anyone to question You; by this we 16believe that You 17came from God.” 31Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? 32Behold, 18an hour is coming, and has already come, for 19you to be scattered, each to 20his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet 21I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. 33These things I have spoken to you, so that 22in Me you may have peace. 23In the world you have tribulation, but 24take courage; 25I have overcome the world.”
