John 16:23-30

23And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say to you, Whatever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you. 24Until now ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. 25These things have I spoken to you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak to you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly concerning the Father.1 26At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not to 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 from God.

28I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. 29His disciples said to him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.2 30Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest from God.
