³¹ When Judas was gone, Jesus said, “Now the ·Son of Man [^Ca title for the Messiah; Dan. 7:13–14] ·receives his glory [is glorified], and God ·receives glory [is glorified] through him. ³² If God ·receives glory [is glorified] through him,^[a] then God will ·give glory to [glorify; honor] the Son through himself. And God will ·give him glory [glorify/honor him] ·quickly [immediately; at once].”

³³ Jesus said, “·My children [or Little children; ^Ca term of endearment], I will be with you only a little longer. You will ·look for [seek] me, and what I told the Jews [7:33–34; 8:21], I tell you now: Where I am going you cannot come.

³⁴ “I give you a new ·command [commandment]: Love ·each other [^Tone another]. You must love ·each other [^Tone another] as I have loved you. ³⁵ All people will know that you are my ·followers [disciples] if you love ·each other [^Tone another].”

Peter Will Say He Doesn’t Know Jesus^(A)

³⁶ Simon Peter asked Jesus, “Lord, where are you going?”

Jesus answered, “Where I am going you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.”

³⁷ Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I ·am ready to die for you [^Lwill lay down my life for you]!”

³⁸ Jesus answered, “·Are you ready to die for me [^LWill you lay down your life for me]? ·I tell you the truth [^LTruly, truly, I say to you], before the ·rooster [cock] crows, you will ·say three times that you don’t know me [deny/disown me three times].”
