²⁴ Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

²⁵ I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. An hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you this way, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

²⁶ In that day you will ask in My name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.

²⁷ For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.
