25 “I have said these things to you in figures of speech. ^uThe hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; 27 ^vfor the Father himself loves you, because ^wyou have loved me and ^xhave believed that I came from God.¹ 28 ^yI came from the Father and have come into the world, and now ^zI am leaving the world and going to the Father.”

29 His disciples said, “Ah, now you are speaking plainly and not ^ausing figurative speech! 30 Now we know that ^byou know all things and do not need anyone to question you; this is why we believe that ^cyou came from God.” 31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? 32 Behold, ^dthe hour is coming, indeed it has come, when ^eyou will be scattered, each to his own home, and ^fwill leave me alone. ^gYet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. 33 I have said these things to you, that ^hin me you may have peace. ⁱIn the world you will have ^jtribulation. But ^ktake heart; ^lI have overcome the world.”
