John 13:34-38 ▼

34 A new command I give to you, that you love one another; according as I loved you, that you also love one another;

35 in this will all know that you are My disciples, if you may have love one to another.”

36 Simon Peter says to Him, “Lord, to where do You go away?” Jesus answered him, “To where I go away, you are not able now to follow Me, but afterward you will follow Me.”

37 Peter says to Him, “Lord, why am I not able to follow You now? I will lay down my life for You”;

38 Jesus answered him, “You will lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you may deny Me three times.”
