JOHN 16:26 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:”
On that day you will ask in my name. I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf — Jesus clarifies that the disciples' direct relationship to the Father does not depend on Jesus' intercession but on their own prayer in Jesus' name. The phrase "I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf" means that mediation is not necessary; the disciples have access to the Father through the Son's redemptive work already accomplished.
