²⁵ All this I have said to you in veiled language: but the time is coming when I will no longer say things in veiled language but will give you knowledge of the Father clearly.

²⁸ I came out from the Father and have come into the world: again, I go away from the world and go to the Father.

²⁹ His disciples said, Now you are talking clearly and not in veiled language.

¹² I have still much to say to you, but you are not strong enough for it now.

² They will put you out of the Synagogues: yes, the time is coming when whoever puts you to death will have the belief that he is doing God's pleasure.

⁶ In this Jesus was teaching them in the form of a story: but what he said was not clear to them.

¹³ And he said to them, If you are not clear about this story, how will you be clear about the others?

³⁴ All these things Jesus said to the people in the form of stories; and without a story he said nothing to them:

³⁵ That it might come true which was said by the prophet, Opening my mouth, I will give out stories; I will give knowledge of things kept secret from before all time.

¹⁰ And the disciples came and said to him, Why do you say things to them in the form of stories?

¹¹ And he said to them in answer, To you is given the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

² Opening my mouth I will give out a story, even the dark sayings of old times;

⁴ I will put my teaching into a story; I will make my dark sayings clear with music.

² And we have given up the secret things of shame, not walking in false ways, and not making use of the word of God with deceit; but by the revelation of what is true, as before God, we have the approval of every man's sense of right and wrong.

¹² Having then such a hope, we keep nothing back,

¹³ And are not like Moses, who put a veil on his face, so that the children of Israel might not see clearly to the end of the present order of things:

¹⁴ But their minds were made hard: for to this very day at the reading of the old agreement the same veil is still unlifted; though it is taken away in Christ.

¹⁵ But to this day, at the reading of the law of Moses, a veil is over their heart.

¹⁶ But when it is turned to the Lord, the veil will be taken away.

¹⁷ Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there the heart is free.

¹⁸ But we all, with unveiled face giving back as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord who is the Spirit.

³³ And so, being lifted up to the right hand of God, and having the Father's word that the Holy Spirit would come, he has sent this thing, which now you see and have knowledge of.

³⁴ For David has not gone up into heaven, but says, himself, The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand,

³⁵ Till I put all those who are against you under your feet.

³⁶ For this reason, let all Israel be certain that this Jesus, whom you put to death on the cross, God has made Lord and Christ.

¹⁶ After a little time you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me.

¹⁷ So some of the disciples said one to another, What is this he is saying, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me? and, I am going to the Father?
