John 13:31-38

Love commandment

31 When Judas was gone, Jesus said, “Now the Human One has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.

32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify the Human One in himself and will glorify him immediately.

33 Little children, I'm with you for a little while longer. You will look for me—but, just as I told the Jewish leaders, I also tell you now—‘Where I'm going, you can't come.'

34 " I give you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, so you also must love each other.

35 This is how everyone will know that you are my disciples, when you love each other."

Announcement of Peter’s denial

36 Simon Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, " Where I am going, you can't follow me now, but you will follow later."

37 Peter asked, " Lord, why can't I follow you now? I'll give up my life for you."

38 Jesus replied, “Will you give up your life for me? I assure you that you will deny me three times before the rooster crows.
