33 Little children, I am with you a little while longer.ab You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so now I tell you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’ac

34 “I give you a new command: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, you are also to love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you lovead one another.”

PETER’S DENIALS PREDICTED

36 “Lord,” Simon Peter said to him, “where are you going?”

Jesus answered, “Where I am goingae you cannot follow me now, but you will follow later.”

37 “Lord,” Peter asked, “why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my lifeaf for you.”ag

38 Jesus replied, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly I tell you, a rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times.

14 “Don’t let your heart be troubled.ah BelieveG in God;ai believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am goingaj to prepare a place for you? 3 If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come againak and take you to myself, so that where I am you may be also.al 4 You know the way to where I am going.”H,am

5 “Lord,” Thomasa said, “we don’t know where you’re going. How can we know the way?”
