John 16:23-27

23At that time you will ask me nothing. I tell you the solemn truth, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.

24Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive it, so that your joy may be complete.

25“I have told you these things in obscure figures of speech; a time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in obscure figures, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

26At that time you will ask in my name, and I do not say 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.
