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.”
