John 16:23-33 English Revised Version (ERV)

23. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. 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 fulfilled.

25. These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: the hour cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, 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 proverb.

30. Now know we that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.

31. Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

32. Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

33. These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
