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.

Jesus Prays for All Believers

²⁰ “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who ^[a]will believe in Me through their word; ^21 (A)that they all may be one, as ^(B)You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. ²² And the ^(C)glory which You gave Me I have given them, ^(D)that they may be one just as We are one: ²³ I in them, and You in Me; ^(E)that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

^24 (F)“Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; ^(G)for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. ²⁵ O righteous Father! ^(H)The world has not known You, but ^(I)I have known You; and ^(J)these have known that You sent Me. ^26 (K)And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love ^(L)with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

⁹ who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, ^(A)not according to our works, but ^(B)according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus ^(C)before time began,

⁸ He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
