John 16:25-27

New Catholic Bible

²⁵ “I have used figures of speech
to explain these things to you.
The hour is coming
when I will no longer use figures,
but I will tell you about the Father in plain words.
²⁶ When that day comes,
you will make requests in my name.
I do not say
that I will entreat the Father on your behalf.
²⁷ For the Father himself loves you
because you have loved me
and have come to believe
that I came from God.
