John 16:26
Compare all
24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, athat your joy may be bfull.  

Jesus Christ Has Overcome the World

25 “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you aplainly about the Father.  
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;
27 afor the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and bhave believed that I came forth from God.  
28 aI came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”  
29 His disciples said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech!
30 Now we are sure that aYou know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this bwe believe that You came forth from God.”

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).
