John 13:26-38 ▼

26 Jesus answered, It is he to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it: and He dipped in a sop and gave it to Judas the Iscariot the son of Simon.

27 And after the sop Satan entred into him. Then Jesus saith unto him, What thou dost, do quickly.

28 But none of those that sat at table knew wherefore He said this to him.

29 For some of them thought, because Judas kept the purse, that Jesus said to him, Buy what things we have need of against the feast: or that he should give something to the poor.

30 He therefore, when he had taken the sop, immediately went out. And it was night.

31 And when he was gone out Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in Him:

32 and if God be glorified in Him, God will glorify Him in Himself, and will soon glorify Him.

33 Little children, I am to be with you but a little while longer. Ye will wish for me, and as I said to the Jews, "Whither I go ye cannot come", so I now tell you.

34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; ---as I have loved you, that ye also love one another: for by this shall all men know that ye are my disciples,

35 if ye have mutual love to each other.

36 Simon Peter saith unto Him, Lord, whither art thou going? Jesus answered him, Whither I am going thou canst not follow me now, but thou shalt follow me hereafter.

37 Peter saith unto Him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.

38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily verily I tell thee, The cock shall not crow till thou hast denied me thrice.
