John 16:27-33 ▼

27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God.

28 I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.|

29 His disciples said to him, |Look, now you are speaking plainly and not in any figure of speech.

30 Now we know that you know all things and do not need anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came forth from God.|

31 Jesus answered them, |Do you now believe?

32 Look, the time is coming, and has come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and you will leave me alone. But I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

33 I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up. I have overcome the world.|
