His disciples said, "Now you are talking plainly, and not in any figure of speech. Now we realize that you know everything and that you do not need to have anyone question you. Because of this we believe that you came from God." Jesus answered them, "Do you believe now? Behold, the hour is coming and has arrived when each of you will be scattered to his own home and you will leave me alone. But I am not alone, because the Father is with me. I have told you this so that you might have peace in me. In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world." (Jn 16:29-33)
Jesus was speaking in parables. He said many things regarding the kingdom in parables. When he spoke in parables the disciples were in need of explanations. Jesus fulfilled that as well. Now the disciples are saying that Jesus spoken plainly. Jesus is speaking about himself and the father. It is about his relationship with the father (real and personal) and hence he does need to use parables.
Jesus not only spoke about his relationship with the father so plainly, he also spoke about what the disciples will do when he is arrested. They will all run away leaving all alone. Jesus was not worried about being alone in the world because he is so sure that the father will be with him. The certainty that the father will be with him urges him to go ahead with his mission.
This assurance of the presence of God gives peace. There will be troubles in the world and Jesus has not come to remove the troubles and problems rather he has come to assure that the presence of God will bring peace and that peace will give courage to face the world.
