John 16:25-27

English Standard Version

I Have Overcome the World

²⁵ “I have said these things to you in figures of speech. ^(A)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 (B)for the Father himself loves you, because ^(C)you have loved me and ^(D)have believed that I came from God.^[a]
