25. I have told you these things in parables (veiled language, allegories, dark sayings); the hour is now coming when I shall no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but I shall tell you about the Father in plain words and openly (without reserve).
26. At that time you will ask (pray) in My Name; and I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf [for it will be unnecessary].
27. For the Father Himself [tenderly] loves you because you have loved Me and have believed that I came out from the Father.
28. I came out from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father.
