JOHN 16:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.”
for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God — the Father's love of the disciples flows from their response to Jesus; they have loved Jesus and believed in him, and this faith awakens the Father's love toward them. Love and faith are intertwined; to believe that Jesus came from God is to align oneself with the Father's purpose and to become the object of the Father's affection.
Church Fathers on John 16:27
And in that day shall you ask Me nothing.
the Greek word from which it is translated has both meanings.
I or when your prayers shall be fully answered, then will your gladness be greatest.
