A New Commandment

31When he had gone out, Jesus said, a“Now is the Son of Man glorified, and bGod is glorified in him. 32If God is glorified in him, cGod will also glorify him in himself, and dglorify him at once. 33Little children, eyet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just fas I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’ 34 gA new commandment hI give to you, ithat you love one another: jjust as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 kBy this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Jesus Foretells Peter’s Denial

36Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” lJesus answered him, “Where I am going myou cannot follow me now, nbut you will follow afterward.” 37 oPeter said to him, “Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” 38Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, pthe rooster will not crow till you have denied me three times.
