^28 (A)I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”

Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet

13 Now ^(A)before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that ^(B)His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He ^(C)loved them to the end.

³ Jesus, knowing ^(A)that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He ^(B)had come from God and ^(C)was going to God,

¹⁴ Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but ^(A)you do not know where I come from and where I am going.

The Work of the Holy Spirit

⁵ “But now I ^(A)go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

Jesus Ascends to Heaven^(A)

^9 (B)Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, ^(C)He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. ¹⁰ And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them ^(D)in white apparel, ¹¹ who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, ^(E)will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”

⁵ And now, O Father, glorify Me together ^[a]with Yourself, with the glory ^(A)which I had with You before the world was.

Sorrow Will Turn to Joy

¹⁶ “A ^(A)little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, ^(B)because I go to the Father.”

²⁸ You have heard Me ^(A)say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because ^[a]I said, ^(B)‘I am going to the Father,’ for ^(C)My Father is greater than I.
