26. In that day you will ask the Father for things in my name. I am saying that I will not need to ask the Father for you.
27. No! The Father himself loves you. He loves you because you have loved me. And he loves you because you have believed that I came from God.
28. I came from the Father into the world. Now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”
29. Then the followers of Jesus said, “You are speaking clearly to us now. You are not using words that are hard to understand.
30. We can see now that you know all things. You can answer a person’s question even before he asks it. This makes us believe that you came from God.”
31. Jesus answered, “So now you believe?
32. Listen to me. A time is coming when you will be scattered. Each of you will be scattered to your own home. That time is now here. You will leave me. I will be alone. But I am never really alone. Why? Because the Father is with me.
33. “I told you these things so that you can have peace in me. In this world you will have trouble. But be brave! I have defeated the world!”
