A time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures, but I will tell you plainly about the Father. 26 On that day you will askl in my name, andm I am not telling you that I will ask the Father on your behalf. 27 For the Father himself loves you, because you have lovedn me and have believed that I came from God.B,o 28 I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father.”p
