John 16:26-33

26 At that time you will make your requests in my name; and I do not promise to ask the Father on your behalf,

27 for the Father Himself holds you dear, because you have held me dear and have believed that I came from the Father's presence.

28 I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again I am leaving the world and am going to the Father."

29 "Ah, now you are using plain language," said His disciples, "and are uttering no figure of speech!

30 Now we know that you have all knowledge, and do not need to be pressed with questions. Through this we believe that you came from God."

31 "Do you at last believe?" replied Jesus.

32 "Remember that the time is coming, nay, has already come, for you all to be dispersed each to his own home and to leave me alone. And yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

33 "I have spoken all this to you in order that in me you may have peace. In the world you have affliction. But keep up your courage: *I* have won the victory over the world."
