Take Courage

25I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. An hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

26On that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father concerning you;

27For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.

28I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father.

29His disciples said, “Look, now you are speaking openly and are not speaking in any figure of speech.”

30Now we know that you know all things and have no need that anyone should question you. By this we believe that you came from God.

31Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?”

32Behold, an hour is coming, and has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

33I have spoken these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.
