John 13:31-38

31When Judas was gone, Jesus said, “The Son of Man is now glorified, and because of him God is glorified.

32If God is glorified because of the Son of Man, God will glorify the Son of Man because of himself, and he will glorify the Son of Man at once.”

33Jesus said, “Dear children, I will still be with you for a little while. I’m telling you what I told the Jews. You will look for me, but you can’t go where I’m going.

34“I’m giving you a new commandment: Love each other in the same way that I have loved you.

35Everyone will know that you are my disciples because of your love for each other.”

36Simon Peter asked him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered him, “You can’t follow me now to the place where I’m going. However, you will follow me later.”

37Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I’ll give my life for you.”

38Jesus replied, “Will you give your life for me? I can guarantee this truth: No rooster will crow until you say three times that you don’t know me.
