John 16:23-33

New King James Version

²³ “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. ^(A)Most assuredly, 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, ^(B)that your joy may be ^(C)full.

Jesus Christ Has Overcome the World

²⁵ “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you ^(D)plainly about 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 (E)for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and ^(F)have believed that I came forth from God. ^28 (G)I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”

²⁹ His disciples said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech! ³⁰ Now we are sure that ^(H)You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this ^(I)we believe that You came forth from God.”

³¹ Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? ^32 (J)Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, ^(K)each to his ^[a]own, and will leave Me alone. And ^(L)yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. ³³ These things I have spoken to you, that ^(M)in Me you may have peace. ^(N)In the world you ^[b]will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, ^(O)I have overcome the world.”
