Verely verely I saye vnto you whatsoever ye shall axe the father in my name he will geve it you. 24 Hitherto have ye axed nothinge in my name. Axe and ye shall receave it: that youre ioye maye be full. 25 These thinges have I spoken vnto you in proverbes. The tyme will come when I shall no moare speake to you in proverbes: but I shall shewe you playnly from my father. 26 At that daye shall ye axe in myne name. And I saye not vnto you that I will speake vnto my father for you 27 For ye father him selfe loveth you because ye have loved me and have beleved that I came out from God. 28 I went out from the father and came into the worlde: and I leve the worlde agayne and go to ye father. 29 His disciples sayd vnto him: loo now speakest thou playnly and thou vsest no proverbe. 30 Nowe knowe we that thou vnderstondest all thinges and nedest not yt eny man shuld axe the eny question. Therfore beleve we that thou camst fro god. 31 Iesus answered them: Now ye do beleve.
