John 16 : 23 - 33
Chapter 16
| 23 | "And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.
|
| 24 | Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
|
| 25 | "These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.
|
| 26 | In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you;
|
| 27 | for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God.
|
| 28 | I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father."
|
| 29 | His disciples said to Him, "See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech!
|
| 30 | Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God."
|
| 31 | Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe?
|
| 32 | Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.
|
| 33 | These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
|
And Glory be to God forever.
