John 13:28-38 ▼

28 But no one at the table knew why Jesus had said this to him.

29 Since Judas (praise) kept the money bag, some thought that Jesus (YHWH saves) was telling him to buy what was needed for the feast, or to give something to the poor.

30 As soon as he had received the morsel, Judas went out into the night.

31 When Judas had gone out, Jesus (YHWH saves) said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God {Theos} is glorified in Him.

32 If God {Theos} is glorified in Him, God will also glorify the Son in Himself—and will glorify Him at once.

33 Little children, I am with you⁺ only a little while longer. You⁺ will look for Me, and as I said to the Jews (people of praise), so now I say to you⁺: ‘Where I am going, you⁺ cannot come.

34 A new commandment I give you⁺: Love {agapate} one another. As I have loved {ēgapēsa} you⁺, so you⁺ also must love one another.

35 By this everyone will know that you⁺ are My disciples (pupils), if you⁺ love {agapēn} one another.

36 “Lord {Kyrie}, where are You going? Simon (hearing) Peter (rock) asked. Jesus (YHWH saves) answered, “Where I am going, you cannot follow (accompany) Me now, but you will follow later.

37 “Lord {Kyrie}, said Peter (rock), “why can’t I follow (accompany) You now? I will lay down my life {psychēn} for You.

38 “Will you lay down your life {psychēn} for Me? Jesus (YHWH saves) replied. “Truly, truly, I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.
