John 16:23-33

23 ¹In that day you will ²ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, ³whatever you ask of the Father in my name, ⁴he will give it to you.

24 Until now you have asked nothing in my name. ⁵Ask, and you will receive, ⁶that your joy may be full.

I Have Overcome the World

25 "I have said these things to you in figures of speech. ⁷The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but 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 will ask the Father on your behalf;

27 ⁸for the Father himself loves you, because ⁹you have loved me and ¹⁰have believed that I came from God.^[a]

28 ¹¹I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now ¹²I am leaving the world and going to the Father."

29 His disciples said, "Ah, now you are speaking plainly and not ¹³using figurative speech!

30 Now we know that ¹⁴you know all things and do not need anyone to question you; this is why we believe that ¹⁵you came from God."

31 Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe?

32 Behold, ¹⁶the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when ¹⁷you will be scattered, each to his own home, and ¹⁸will leave me alone. ¹⁹Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

33 I have said these things to you, that ²⁰in me you may have peace. ²¹In the world you will have ²²tribulation. But ²³take heart; ²⁴I have overcome the world."
