John 16:23–33

I Have Overcome the World

²³“^aAnd on that day ^byou will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, ^cif you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you.

²⁴“^aUntil now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your ^bjoy may be made complete.

²⁵“These things I have spoken to you in ^afigures of speech; ^ban hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you openly of the Father.

²⁶“^aOn that day ^byou will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf;

²⁷for ^athe Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and ^bhave believed that ^cI came forth from the Father.

²⁸“^aI came forth from the Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and ^bgoing to the Father.”

²⁹His disciples ^*said, “Behold, now You are speaking openly and are not ¹using ^aa figure of speech.

³⁰“Now we know that You know all things, and have no need for anyone to question You; by this we ^abelieve that You ^bcame from God.”

³¹Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?

³²“Behold, ^aan hour is coming, and has already come, for ^byou to be scattered, each to ^chis own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet ^dI am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

³³“These things I have spoken to you, so that ^ain Me you may have peace. ^bIn the world you have tribulation, but ^ctake courage; ^dI have overcome the world.”
