JOHN 16:32 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.”
I have said all this to you so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you — this verse repeats the pattern of chapter 16:4, circling back to Jesus' concern that foreknowledge will sustain faith. The discourse has been offered as an act of love: Jesus sees the coming persecution and gives the disciples words to remember, a rope to grasp when they feel themselves falling.
