25 “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you bplainly about the Father. 26 In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you; 27 cfor the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and dhave believed that I came forth from God. 28 eI came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”

29 His disciples said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech! 30 Now we are sure that fYou know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this gwe believe that You came forth from God.”

31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? 32 hIndeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, ieach to his 5own, and will leave Me alone. And jyet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. 33 These things I have spoken to you, that kin Me you may have peace. lIn the world you 6will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, mI have overcome the world.”
