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

25 "I have said all this to you in figurative language, but a time is coming when I shall not do so any longer, but will tell you plainly about the Father. 26 When that time comes you will ask as my followers, and I do not promise to intercede with the Father for you, 27 for the Father loves you himself because you love me and believe that I have come from the Father. 28 I did come from the Father and enter the world. Now I am leaving the world again and going back to the Father."

29 His disciples said, " Why, now you are talking plainly and not speaking figuratively at all. 30 Now we know that you know everything and do not need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe that you have really come from God."

31 Jesus answered, "Do you believe that now? 32 Why, a time is coming??t has already come!??hen you will all be scattered to your homes and will leave me alone. And yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. 33 I have told you all this, so that through me you may find peace. In the world you have trouble; but take courage! I have conquered the world."
