New Testament

John 16:22-29 American Standard Version (ASV)

22. And ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away from you.

23. And in that day ye shall ask me no question. Verily, verily, I say unto you, if ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name.

24. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be made full.

25. These things have I spoken unto you in dark sayings: the hour cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in dark sayings, but shall tell you plainly of the Father.

26. In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you;

27. for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father.

28. I came out from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go unto the Father.

29. His disciples say, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no dark saying.
