John 16:23-30
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
23 And in that day you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen I say to you: if you ask the Father any thing in my name, he will give it you.
24 Hitherto you have not asked any thing in my name. Ask, and you shall receive; that your joy may be full.
25 These things I have spoken to you in proverbs. The hour cometh, when I will no more speak to you in proverbs, but will shew you plainly of the Father.
26 In that day you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I will ask the Father for you:
27 For the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again I leave the world, and I go to the Father.
29 His disciples say to him: Behold, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no proverb.
30 Now we know that thou knowest all things, and thou needest not that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that thou camest forth from God.

John 16:23-30
New International Version
23 In that day(A) you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.(B) 24 Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive,(C) and your joy will be complete.(D)
25 “Though I have been speaking figuratively,(E) a time is coming(F) when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name.(G) I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf. 27 No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me(H) and have believed that I came from God.(I) 28 I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”(J)
29 Then Jesus’ disciples said, “Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech.(K) 30 Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe(L) that you came from God.”(M)
