Read in context

John 16:26–30 · Berean Standard Bible

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

27 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.

30 Now we understand that You know all things and that You have no need for anyone to question You. Because of this, we believe that You came from God.”
