John 13:29-38

29 Since Judas was in charge of the money bag, some of the disciples thought that Jesus had told him to go and buy what they needed for the festival, or to give something to the poor.

30 Judas accepted the bread and went out at once. It was night.

31 After Judas had left, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man's glory is revealed; now God's glory is revealed through him.

32 And if God's glory is revealed through him, then God will reveal the glory of the Son of Man in himself, and he will do so at once.

33 My children, I shall not be with you very much longer. You will look for me; but I tell you now what I told the Jewish authorities, "You cannot go where I am going.' ¹

34 And now I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. ²

35 If you have love for one another, then everyone will know that you are my disciples."

36 "Where are you going, Lord?" Simon Peter asked him. "You cannot follow me now where I am going," answered Jesus; "but later you will follow me."

37 "Lord, why can't I follow you now?" asked Peter. "I am ready to die for you!"

38 Jesus answered, "Are you really ready to die for me? I am telling you the truth: before the rooster crows you will say three times that you do not know me.
