…soon I will stop speaking figuratively 

and will tell you plainly all about the Father.

Then you will ask in my name. 

I’m not saying I will ask the Father on your behalf, 

for the Father himself loves you dearly 

because you love me and believe that I came from God.

Yes, 

I came from the Father into the world, 

and now I will leave the world and return to the Father.”

John 16:22-24
