25 I have used examples to explain to you what I have been talking about. But the time will come when I will speak to you plainly about the Father and will no longer use examples like these.
26 You will ask the Father in my name, and I won't have to ask him for you.
27 God the Father loves you because you love me, and you believe that I have come from him.
28 I came from the Father into the world, but I am leaving the world and returning to the Father.
29 The disciples said, “Now you are speaking plainly to us! You are not using examples.
30 At last we know that you understand everything, and we don't have any more questions. Now we believe that you truly have come from God.”
31 Jesus replied:Do you really believe me?
