31 So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, f“Now the Son of Man is glorified, and gGod is glorified in Him. 32 If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and hglorify Him immediately. 33 Little children, I shall be with you a ilittle while longer. You will seek Me; jand as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’ so now I say to you. 34 kA new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 lBy this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
