John 16:23-27

23And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name.

24Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be fulfilled.

25These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: the hour cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but shall tell you plainly of the Father.

26In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you;

27for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father.
