John 16:28-33

28 First, I left the Father and arrived in the world; now I leave the world and travel to the Father."

29 His disciples said, "Finally! You're giving it to us straight, in plain talk - no more figures of speech.

30 Now we know that you know everything - it all comes together in you. You won't have to put up with our questions anymore. We're convinced you came from God."

31 Jesus answered them, "Do you finally believe?

32 In fact, you're about to make a run for it - saving your own skins and abandoning me. But I'm not abandoned. The Father is with me.

33 I've told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I've conquered the world."
