John 16:23–33

^23oIn that day you will ^pask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, ^qwhatever you ask of the Father in my name, ^rhe will give it to you. ²⁴Until now you have asked nothing in my name. ^sAsk, and you will receive, ^tthat your joy may be full.

I Have Overcome the World

²⁵“I have said these things to you in figures of speech. ^uThe hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father. ²⁶In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; ^27vfor the Father himself loves you, because ^wyou have loved me and ^xhave believed that I came from God.^{1 28y}I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now ^zI am leaving the world and going to the Father.”

²⁹His disciples said, “Ah, now you are speaking plainly and not ^ausing figurative speech! ³⁰Now we know that ^byou know all things and do not need anyone to question you; this is why we believe that ^cyou came from God.” ³¹Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? ³²Behold, ^dthe hour is coming, indeed it has come, when ^eyou will be scattered, each to his own home, and ^fwill leave me alone. ^gYet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. ³³I have said these things to you, that ^hin me you may have peace. ⁱIn the world you will have ^jtribulation. But ^ktake heart; ^lI have overcome the world.”
