John 16:23-33

New International Version

²³ In that day^(A) you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.^{(B) 24} Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive,^(C) and your joy will be complete.^(D)

²⁵ “Though I have been speaking figuratively,^(E) a time is coming^(F) when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father. ²⁶ In that day you will ask in my name.^(G) I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf. ²⁷ No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me^(H) and have believed that I came from God.^{(I) 28} I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”^(J)

²⁹ Then Jesus’ disciples said, “Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech.^{(K) 30} Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe^(L) that you came from God.”^(M)

³¹ “Do you now believe?” Jesus replied. ³² “A time is coming^(N) and in fact has come when you will be scattered,^(O) each to your own home. You will leave me all alone.^(P) Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.^(Q)

³³ “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.^(R) In this world you will have trouble.^(S) But take heart! I have overcome^(T) the world.”
