Study Lenses

The verse centers on "all things", "father", "hath", "mine", "said", "take", and "tell". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "all things" and "father", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 14's "He will glorify me because of mine..." into verse 16's "a little while and ye do not...", so "all things" and "father" belong inside that flow. In John context, the local focus is the identity of Jesus, new birth, eternal life, and belief and unbelief.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "all things" and "father" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
