Have You Met Yourself? (John 13:31-38)

 

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

 ³¹When he was gone, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified and God is glorified in him. ³²If God is glorified in him,^[a] God will glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him at once.

 ³³“My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come.

 ³⁴“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. ³⁵By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

 ³⁶Simon Peter asked him, “Lord, where are you going?” 
      Jesus replied, “Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.”

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

 ³⁸Then Jesus answered, “Will you really lay down your life for me? I tell you the truth, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!
