John 13:33-38 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

33. Children, yet a little time I am with you. You will seek me and just as I said to the Jews, “Where I am going you cannot come,” now I say also to you.

34. “A new commandment I give to you: that you love one another—just as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

35. By this everyone 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 replied, “Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow later.”

37. Peter said to him, “Lord, why am I not able to follow you now? 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, the rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times!
