John 16:27

God's loveFaith

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

26 In that day you will ask in My name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.

For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.

28 I came from the Father and entered the world. In turn, I will leave the world and go to the Father.”

29 His disciples said, “See, now You are speaking plainly and without figures of speech.
