23. And, in that day, you will not petition me for anything. Amen, amen, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in my name, he will give it to you.
24. Until now, you have not requested anything in my name. Ask, and you shall receive, so that your joy may be full.
25. I have spoken these things to you in proverbs. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in proverbs; instead, I will announce to you plainly from the Father.
26. In that day, you shall ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you.
27. For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and because you have believed that I went forth from God.
28. I went forth from the Father, and I have come into the world. Next I am leaving the world, and I am going to the Father."
29. His disciples said to him: "Behold, now you are speaking plainly and not reciting a proverb.
30. Now we know that you know all things, and that you have no need for anyone to question you. By this, we believe that you went forth from God."
31. Jesus answered them: "Do you believe now?
32. Behold, the hour is coming, and it has now arrived, when you will be scattered, each one on his own, and you will leave me behind, alone. And yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.
33. These things I have spoken to you, so that you may have peace in me. In the world, you will have difficulties. But have confidence: I have overcome the world."
