John 16:23–33

²³And in that day ye shall demand nothing of me: verily, verily, I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you. ²⁴Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. ²⁵These things I have spoken to you in allegories; the hour is coming that I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but will declare to you openly concerning the Father. ²⁶In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I say not to you that I will demand of the Father for you, ²⁷for the Father himself has affection for you, because ye have had affection for me, and have believed that I came out from God.

²⁸I came out from the Father and have come into the world; again, I leave the world and go to the Father. ²⁹His disciples say to him, Lo, now thou speakest openly and utterest no allegory. ³⁰Now we know that thou knowest all things, and hast not need that any one should demand of thee. By this we believe that thou art come from God. ³¹Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? ³²Behold, the hour is coming, and has come, that ye shall be scattered, each to his own, and shall leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. ³³These things have I spoken to you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good courage: I have overcome the world.
