John 16:28
I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. (John 16:28)
I came.
 The great facts of the Christian faith are here summarized: the preexistence of Christ (“I came forth from the Father”), the incarnation and associated events (“am come into the world”), and the ascension (“go to the Father”). See on ch. 1:1, 14.
