24. Hitherto you have not asked any thing in my name. Ask, and you shall receive; that your joy may be full.
25. These things I have spoken to you in proverbs. The hour cometh, when I will no more speak to you in proverbs, but will shew you plainly of the Father.
26. In that day you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I will ask the Father for you:
27. For the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
28. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again I leave the world, and I go to the Father.
29. His disciples say to him: Behold, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no proverb.
