John 16:23-30

23“And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.

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

25“These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I 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 shall pray the Father for you;

27for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God.

28I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”

29His disciples said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech!

30Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God.”
