John 13:33-14:6

New American Standard Bible

^33 (A)Little children, I am still with you ^(B)a little longer. ^(C)You will look for Me; and just as I said to the ^[a]Jews, now I also say to you: ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’ ³⁴ I am giving you a ^(D)new commandment, ^(E)that you love one another; ^(F)just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. ^35 (G)By this all people will know that you are My disciples: if you have love for one another.”

³⁶ Simon Peter *said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered, “^(H)Where I am going, you cannot follow Me now; but ^(I)you will follow later.” ³⁷ Peter *said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You right now? ^(J)I will lay down my life for You.” ³⁸ Jesus *replied, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly I say to you, ^(K)a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

14 “^(L)Do not let your heart be troubled; ^[b]believe in God, believe also in Me. ² In My Father’s house are many ^[c]rooms; if that were not so, ^[d]I would have told you, because ^(M)I am going there to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, ^(N)I am coming again and will take you to Myself, so that ^(O)where I am, there you also will be. ⁴ And you know the way where I am going.” ^5 (P)Thomas *said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going; how do we know the way?” ⁶ Jesus *said to him, “I am ^(Q)the way, and ^(R)the truth, and ^(S)the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.
