16:25 “I have told you these things in obscure figures of speech; ¹  a time ²  is coming when I will no longer speak to you in obscure figures, but will tell you ³  plainly ⁴  about the Father. 16:26 At that time ⁵  you will ask in my name, and I do not say ⁶  that I will ask the Father on your behalf. 16:27 For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. ⁷  16:28 I came from the Father and entered into the world, but in turn, ⁸  I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.” ⁹
