The New Commandment

³¹ When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.^{(A) 32} If God has been glorified in him,^[a] God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. ³³ Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’^{(B) 34} I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.^{(C) 35} By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”^(D)

¹² “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.^{(A) 13} No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.^{(B) 14} You are my friends if you do what I command you.^{(C) 15} I do not call you servants^[a] any longer, because the servant^[b] does not know what the master is doing, but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father. ¹⁶ You did not choose me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name.^{(D) 17} I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another.
