John 16:23-27
16:23 At 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.
16:24 Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive it,
so that your joy may be complete.
16:25 “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.
16:26 At that time you will ask in my name, and I do not say that I will ask the Father on your behalf.
16:27 For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
