The New Commandment

³¹ So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, ^(A)“Now the Son of Man is glorified, and ^(B)God is glorified in Him. ³² If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and ^(C)glorify Him immediately. ³³ Little children, I shall be with you a ^(D)little while longer. You will seek Me; ^(E)and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’ so now I say to you. ^34 (F)A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. ^35 (G)By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

³⁶ Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?”

Jesus answered him, “Where I ^(H)am going you cannot follow Me now, but ^(I)you shall follow Me afterward.”

³⁷ Peter said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will ^(J)lay down my life for Your sake.”

³⁸ Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for My sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not ^(K)crow till you have denied Me three times.

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

14 “Let ^(L)not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. ² In My Father’s house are many ^[a]mansions; if it were not so, ^[b]I would have told you. ^(M)I go to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, ^(N)I will come again and receive you to Myself; that ^(O)where I am, there you may be also. ⁴ And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

^5 (P)Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”

⁶ Jesus said to him, “I am ^(Q)the way, ^(R)the truth, and ^(S)the life. ^(T)No one comes to the Father ^(U)except through Me.

A Prayer of Penitence

^4 (A)They shall see His face, and ^(B)His name shall be on their foreheads. ^5 (C)There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor ^(D)light of the sun, for ^(E)the Lord God gives them light. ^(F)And they shall reign forever and ever.
