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

²⁵ "I have told you these things in allegories, but a time is coming when I shall not do so any longer, but will plainly tell you about the Father. ²⁶ At that time you will ask, as bearers of my name, and I do not say that I will ask the Father for you, ²⁷ for the Father tenderly loves you Himself, because you now tenderly love me and now believe that I have come from the Father. ²⁸ I did come from the Father and I have come into the world. Now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father."

²⁹ His disciples said to Him, "Now you are talking plainly and not in allegory at all. ³⁰ Now we know that you know everything and do not need that anyone should ask you questions. For this reason we believe that you have come from God."

³¹ Jesus answered them, "Do you now really believe? ³² Listen! A time is coming, yea, it is right here, when you will all be scattered to your homes and will leave me alone. And yet, I am not alone, because the Father is with me. ³³ I have told you these things, that you through union with me may have peace. In the world you have trouble, but be courageous! I have conquered the world."
