John 16:23-33

23 "When that day comes, you won't ask anything of me! Yes, indeed! I tell you that whatever you ask from the Father, he will give you in my name.

24 Till now you haven't asked for anything in my name. Keep asking, and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

25 "I have said these things to you with the help of illustrations; however, a time is coming when I will no longer speak indirectly but will talk about the Father in plain language.

26 When that day comes, you will ask in my name. I am not telling you that I will pray to the Father on your behalf,

27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.

28 "I came from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and returning to the Father."

29 The talmidim said to him, "Look, you're talking plainly right now, you're not speaking indirectly at all.

30 Now we know that you know everything, and that you don't need to have people put their questions into words. This makes us believe that you came from God."

31 Yeshua answered, "Now you do believe.

32 But a time is coming -- indeed it has come already -- when you will be scattered, each one looking out for himself; and you will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone; because the Father is with me.

33 "I have said these things to you so that, united with me, you may have shalom. In the world, you have tsuris. But be brave! I have conquered the world!"
