26 In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you;<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

27 for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

28 I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

29 His disciples said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech!<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

30 Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God.”<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? <\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

32 Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

The world preaches God’s love, but Christ says that God’s love is for those who love the Son and believed on Him (v. 27).<\/h3>\n

love (v. 27) \u2014 phileo <\/em>= fondness, intimate friendliness<\/h3>\n

Verse 28 is a summary of Christ’s entire ministry.<\/h3>\n

At this point (v. 29), Christ spoke plainly and didn’t use parables.<\/h3>\n

Quote (v. 32) is from Zechariah 13:7: “Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, against the Man who is My Companion,” says the Lord of hosts. “Strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; Then I will turn My hand against the little ones.”<\/em> (See Matthew 26:31<\/span><\/a> and Mark 14:27)<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Christ knew the disciples would abandon Him (v. 32) but He offered them peace and hope (v. 33). Their faith was genuine but not strong.<\/h3>\n

Verse 33 is a warning \u2014 rough times are coming.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
