John 16:23

Jesus Predicts His Return To The Disciples

²² So for now you are in grief; but I will see you again, and [then] your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away from you your [great] joy. ²³ In that day you will not [need to] ask Me about anything. I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name [as My representative], He will give you. ²⁴ Until now you have not asked [the Father] for anything in My name; but now ask and keep on asking and you will receive, so that your joy may be full and complete.

Truly I Say to You

In My Name

In that Day

My Father

On that Day

Truly I Tell You

Verily I Say Unto You
