John 16:26
I say not . . . I will pray the Father for you—as if He were not of Himself disposed to aid you: Christ does pray the Father for His people, but not for the purpose of inclining an unwilling ear.
John 16:23-28
In that day—of the dispensation of the Spirit (as in John 14:20).
ye shall ask—inquire of
me nothing—by reason of the fulness of the Spirit's teaching (John 14:26; John 16:13; and compare I John 2:27).
