25 "I’ve been using figures of speech with you. The time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in such analogies. Instead, I will tell you plainly about the Father.
26 In that day you will ask in my name. I’m not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.
27 The Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and believed that I came from God.
28 I left the Father and came into the world. I tell you again: I am leaving the world and returning to the Father."
29 His disciples said, "See! Now you speak plainly; you aren’t using figures of speech.
30 Now we know that you know everything and you don’t need anyone to ask you. Because of this we believe you have come from God."
