John 16:23

When that day comes [after the resurrection, when the Spirit is poured out, see John 14:16–20], you will not [need to] ask me anything.
[The main meaning is to ask a question, as the word is used in verse 19, but it can also mean to ask for something in prayer. When Jesus is no longer physically with the disciples, they do not need to ask or pray to him for anything, for the Holy Spirit will guide them into all truth, see verse 13, and Jesus is the mediator between God the Father and man and the one who prays for us, see Rom. 8:34.]
Truly, truly, I say to you:
Whatever you ask (pray for, ask) the Father in my name, he will give you.
