John 13:30-35

Living Bible

³⁰ Judas left at once, going out into the night.

³¹ As soon as Judas left the room, Jesus said, “My time has come; the glory of God will soon surround me—and God shall receive great praise because of all that happens to me. ³² And God shall give me his own glory, and this so very soon. ³³ Dear, dear children, how brief are these moments before I must go away and leave you! Then, though you search for me, you cannot come to me—just as I told the Jewish leaders.

³⁴ “And so I am giving a new commandment to you now—love each other just as much as I love you. ³⁵ Your strong love for each other will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”
