leave the world and I go to the Father.

16:29. His disciples say to him: Behold, now thou speakest plainly and
speakest no proverb.

16:30. Now we know that thou knowest all things and thou needest not
that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that thou camest forth
from God.

16:31. Jesus answered them: Do you now believe?

16:32. Behold, the hour cometh, and it is now come, that you shall be
