John 13:28-38 ▼

28 Now none of those who sat at table knew wherefore he had spoken to him.

29 For some supposed, as Judas kept the purse, that Jesus was saying to him, Buy what we need for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.

30 Having then received the sop, he went out immediately: now it was night.

31 When therefore he was gone, Jesus saith, 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 with himself, and immediately glorify him.

33 My dear children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: as I said to the Jews, Whither I am going, ye cannot come; so say I now to you.

34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

36 Simon Peter saith to 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 to 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 me? Verily, verily, I tell thee, the cock will not crow, before thou shalt deny me thrice.
