John 16:25-33 - Jesus' Victory Over The World

25 "I have spoken these things to you in figurative language. [However], the time will come when I will not speak to you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly about the Father. 26 At that time you will ask Him [i.e., for things in prayer], in my name; I do not say that I will ask the Father for you, 27 for the Father Himself loves you [i.e., and will grant your requests without my persuasion], because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. 28 I came from the Father into this world and now I am leaving the world and returning to the Father."

29 [Then] Jesus' disciples said [to Him], "Look, you are speaking plainly now, and not in figurative language. 30 Now we realize that you know everything and do not need anyone to ask you [questions]. This makes us believe that you came from God."

31 Jesus replied to them, "Do you believe [in me] now? 32 Look, the time is coming --- yes, it is already here --- when each of you will be scattered to his own home, and will leave me [all] alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. 33 I have said these things to you so that you can have peace in [fellowship with] me. You will have trouble in the world, but cheer up, for I have conquered the world."
