John 16:23-33

23 And on that day you will ask me nothing. Truly, truly 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, so that your joy may be complete.

Jesus’ Victory Over the World

25 "I have said these [things] to you in figurative sayings. An hour is coming when I will speak to you in figurative sayings no longer, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.

26 On 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 For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.

28 I have gone out from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and am going to the Father."

29 His disciples said, "Behold, now you are speaking {plainly} and are telling [us] no figurative saying!

30 Now we know that you know everything and do not {need for} anyone to ask you [questions]. By this we believe that you have come from God."

31 Jesus replied to them, "Now do you believe?

32 Behold, an hour is coming--and has come--that you will be scattered each one to his own [home], and you will leave me alone. And I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

33 I have said these [things] to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have affliction, but have courage! I have conquered the world."
