John 16:26-28

New Catholic Bible

²⁶ When that day comes,
you will make requests in my name.
I do not say
that I will entreat the Father on your behalf.
²⁷ For the Father himself loves you
because you have loved me
and have come to believe
that I came from God.
²⁸ I came from the Father
and have come into the world.
Now I am leaving the world
and returning to the Father.”
