I Have Overcome the World
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. 26In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; 27vfor the Father himself loves you, because wyou have loved me and xhave believed that I came from God.1 28yI came from the Father and have come into the world, and now zI am leaving the world and going to the Father.”
29His disciples said, “Ah, now you are speaking plainly and not ausing figurative speech! 30Now 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.” 31Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? 32Behold, 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. 33I 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.”
