(I do not accept human testimony, but I say this so that you may be saved.)

Jesus replied, “You do not understand what I am doing now, but you will understand after these things.”

When he had said these things, Jesus was greatly distressed in spirit, and testified, “I tell you the solemn truth, one of you will betray me.”

“I have told you these things in obscure figures of speech; a time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in obscure figures, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
