23
In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father, he will give it to you in my name.
24
Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
25
"I have said this to you in figures; the hour is coming when I shall no longer speak to you in figures but tell you plainly of 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 from the Father.
28
I came from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father."
