Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on John 16:23-27

23In that day you will no longer ask Me anything. Truly, truly, I tell you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.
24Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
25I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. An hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you this way, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
26In that day you will ask in My name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.
27For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.
