John 13:29-37 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

29. For some were thinking that, because Judas held the purse, that Jesus had told him, "Buy those things which are needed by us for the feast day," or that he might give something to the needy.

30. Therefore, having accepted the morsel, he went out immediately. And it was night.

31. Then, when he had gone out, Jesus said: "Now the Son of man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.

32. If God has been glorified in him, then God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him without delay.

33. Little sons, for a brief while, I am with you. You shall seek me, and just as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going, you are not able to go,' so also I say to you now.

34. I give you a new commandment: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, so also must you love one another.

35. By this, all shall recognize that you are my disciples: if you will have love for one another."

36. Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus responded: "Where I am going, you are not able to follow me now. But you shall follow afterward."

37. Peter said to him: "Why am I unable to follow you now? I will lay down my life for you!"
