Context of John 16:27

25These things have I spoken to you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak to you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly concerning the Father. 26At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not to you, that I will pray the Father for you: For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came from God. 28I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. 29His disciples said to him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
