John 16:24-27

Godbey(i) 24 Until now you have asked nothing in my name: ask, and you shall receive, in order that your joy may be full. 25 I have spoken these things unto you in parables; the hour comes, when I shall no longer speak to you in parables, but openly will I proclaim to you concerning the Father. 26 In that clay you shall ask in my name: and I do not say, that I will ask the Father for you; 27 for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved me as a friend, and you have believed that I came out from God.
