John 13:31-36
The Message
A New Command
31-32 When he had left, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is seen for who he is, and God seen for who he is in him. The moment God is seen in him, God’s glory will be on display. In glorifying him, he himself is glorified—glory all around!
33 “Children, I am with you for only a short time longer. You are going to look high and low for me. But just as I told the Jews, I’m telling you: ‘Where I go, you are not able to come.’
34-35 “Let me give you a new command: Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one another. This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples—when they see the love you have for each other.”
36 Simon Peter asked, “Master, just where are you going?”
Jesus answered, “You can’t now follow me where I’m going. You will follow later.”

Then Jesus Says, Now God Was Glorified In Me. And He Will Yet Glorify Me
31 Then when he went out, Jesus says, “Now[a] the Son of Man was glorified[b], and God was glorified in Him. 32 If God was[c] glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself— and will glorify Him immediately.
Where I Am Going You Cannot Come. Love One Another As I Have Loved You
33 “Little-children, I am with you a little longer. You will seek Me, and just as I told the Jews that where I am going, you are not able to come, I also tell you now. 34 I am giving you a new commandment— that you be loving one another; just as I loved you, that you also be loving one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are disciples to Me: if you are having love in-the-case-of [d] one another”.
Peter Asks Why He Can’t Come. You Will Follow Later, But Deny Me Tonight
36 Simon Peter says to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I am going, you are not able to follow Me now. But you will follow later”.
