John 16:23-28
English Standard Version
23 (A)In that day you will (B)ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, (C)whatever you ask of the Father in my name, (D)he will give it to you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in my name. (E)Ask, and you will receive, (F)that your joy may be full.
I Have Overcome the World
25 “I have said these things to you in figures of speech. (G)The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; 27 (H)for the Father himself loves you, because (I)you have loved me and (J)have believed that I came from God.[a] 28 (K)I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now (L)I am leaving the world and going to the Father.”

The Lord's Prayer
5 “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love (A)to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. (B)Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 6 But when you pray, (C)go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. (D)And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7 “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as (E)the Gentiles do, for (F)they think that they will be heard (G)for their many words. 8 Do not be like them, (H)for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
