I Have Overcome the World

25 “I have told you these things in figures of [fn]speech, but an hour is coming when I will no longer use figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf, 27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have come to believe that I came from [fn]God. 28 I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father.”

29 His disciples said [fn]to him, “Behold, now yoʋ are speaking plainly and not using any figure of speech. 30 Now we know that yoʋ know all things and have no need for anyone to question yoʋ; because of this we believe that yoʋ came from God.” 31 Jesus answered them, “Now do you believe? 32 Behold, an hour is coming, and has [fn]now come, when you will be scattered, each to yoʋr own home, and will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. 33 I have said these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but take heart; I have overcome the world.”
