John 16:28-33

28 "I came from the Father and entered the world. Now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father."

29 Then Jesus' disciples said, "Now you are speaking plainly. You are using examples that are clear.

30 Now we can see that you know everything. You don't even need anyone to ask you questions. This makes us believe that you came from God."

31 "At last you believe!" Jesus said.

32 "But a time is coming when you will be scattered and go to your own homes. In fact, that time is already here. You will leave me all alone. But I am not really alone. My Father is with me.

33 "I have told you these things, so that you can have peace because of me. In this world you will have trouble. But cheer up! I have won the battle over the world."
