John 13:31-38

31So when Judas had left, Jesus said, “Now is [the time for] the Son of Man [to be] glorified, and God is glorified in Him;

32[if God is glorified in Him,] God will also glorify Him (the Son) in Himself, and will glorify Him at once.

33Little children, I am with you [only] a little longer. You will look for Me and, as I told the Jews, so I tell you now, ‘Where I am going, you are not able to come.’

34I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too are to love one another.

35By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you have love and unselfish concern for one another.”

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

37Peter said to Him, “Lord, why cannot I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You!”

38Jesus answered, “Will you [really] lay down your life for Me? I assure you and most solemnly say to you, before a rooster crows you will deny and completely disown Me three times.
