John 16:23-27

23In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.

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

25“Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father.

26In that day you will ask in my name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.

27No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
