John 16:23-31

Lamsa(i) 23 In that day you will not ask me anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, that whatever you ask my Father in my name, he will give it to you. 24 Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be full. 25 I have spoken these things in figures; but the time is coming, when I will not speak to you in figures, but will plainly explain to you concerning the Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name; and I will not say to you, I will ask the Father concerning you. 27 For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father. 28 I came forth from the Father, and I came into the world; again, I am leaving the world and I am going to the Father. 29 His disciples said to him, Behold, now you speak plainly, and do not utter a single figure. 30 Now we understand that you know everything; and you need no man to ask you; by this we believe that you have come forth from God. 31 Jesus said to them, Believe it.
