John 13:28-38 ▼

28 Now none of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him.

29 For some were assuming, since Judas kept the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we need for the feast”; or else, that he was to give something to the poor.

30 So after receiving the piece of bread, he left immediately; and it was night.

31 Therefore when he had left, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him;

32 if God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.

33 Little children, I am still with you a little longer. You will look for Me; and just as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you: ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’

34 I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

35 By this all people will know that you are My disciples: if you have love for one another.”

36 Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered, “Where I am going, you cannot follow Me now; but you will follow later.”

37 Peter said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You right now? I will lay down my life for You.”

38 Jesus replied, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.
