John 16:23–30

Prayer Promises

²³“^aIn 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 full.

²⁵“These things I have spoken to you in ^1afigurative language; ^ban hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father.

²⁶“^aIn 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, “Lo, now You are speaking plainly 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.”
