²³ “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. ^(A)Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. ²⁴ Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, ^(B)that your joy may be ^(C)full.

²⁶ In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you;

^16 (A)You did not choose Me, but I chose you and ^(B)appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father ^(C)in My name He may give you.

^13 (A)And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be ^(B)glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If you ^[a]ask anything in My name, I will do it.

²⁶ But ^(A)the ^[a]Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will ^(B)send in My name, ^(C)He will teach you all things, and bring to your ^(D)remembrance all things that I said to you.

⁴⁸ and said to them, ^(A)“Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and ^(B)whoever receives Me ^(C)receives Him who sent Me. ^(D)For he who is least among you all will be great.”

The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree

⁶ He also spoke this parable: ^(A)“A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.

⁸ And He said: ^(A)“Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ ^[a]Therefore do not ^[b]go after them.

²⁰ For where two or three are gathered ^(A)together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”
