Amplified Bible

John 13:33-38 Amplified Bible (AMP)

33. [Dear] little children, I am to be with you only a little longer. You will look for Me and, as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: you are not able to come where I am going.

34. I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another.

35. By this shall all [men] know that you are My disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among yourselves].

36. Simon Peter said to Him, Lord, where are You going? Jesus answered, You are not able to follow Me now where I am going, but you shall follow Me afterwards.

37. Peter said to Him, Lord, why cannot I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You.

38. Jesus answered, Will you [really] lay down your life for Me? I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me [completely disown Me] three times.
