John 16:23-33 ▼

23 And in that hour ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, That whatsoever things ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

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

25 These things have I spoken to you in parables: but the hour is coming when I will no more speak to you in parables, but will plainly inform you respecting the Father.

26 In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I do not say to you, I will entreat the Father for you:

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

28 I came out from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I am leaving the world, and going to the Father.

29 His disciples said unto him, Lo! now thou speakest plainly, and speakest in no-wise proverbial.

30 Now we know that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any person should ask thee: by this we believe that thou hast come forth from God.

31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

32 Behold, the hour is coming, yea, it is already come, that ye shall be dispersed, each after his own concerns, and shall leave me alone: though I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

33 These things have I spoken to you, that ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good courage; I have overcome the world.
