The Testimony of John the Baptist

This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites to him from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”

And so they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he *said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.”

They asked him, and said to him, “Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”

So the Samaritan woman *said to Him, “How is it that You, though You are a Jew, are asking me for a drink, though I am a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)

Jesus replied to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they were asking Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.

When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and began asking Him to come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.

They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick it up and walk’ ?”

When they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”

And His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?”

Then the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received his sight. And he said to them, “He applied mud to my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”

but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself.”

It was for this reason that his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”

Even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”

And whatever you ask in My name, this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.

The Holy Spirit

I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, so that He may be with you forever;

If you remain in Me, and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.

The Holy Spirit Promised

“But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

Prayer Promises

And on that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you.

Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.

On that day you will ask in My name, and I am not saying to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf;

I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but on the behalf of those whom You have given Me, because they are Yours;

I am not asking You to take them out of the world, but to keep them away from the evil one.
