John 16:23-27

Prayer Promises

23 "1In that day 2you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, 3if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you.
24 "4Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your 5joy may be made full.
25 "These things I have spoken to you in 6figurative language; 7an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father.
26 "8In that day 9you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf;
27 for 10the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and 11have believed that 12I came forth from the Father.
