In context
33 Dear children! Yet a little, am I, with you. Ye shall seek me, and, just as I said unto the Jews, Whither, I, go, ye, cannot come, unto you also, I say it, even now.
34 A new commandment, give I unto you,—That ye be loving one another: Just as I loved you, that, ye also, be loving one another:
35 By this, shall all men take knowledge, that, my disciples, ye are,—If ye have, love, one to another.
36 Simon Peter saith unto him—Lord! whither dost thou withdraw? Jesus answered—Whither I withdraw, thou canst not, now, follow me, but thou shalt follow, hereafter.
37 Peter saith unto him—Lord! why, cannot I follow thee, even now? My life, in thy behalf, will I lay down.
38 Jesus answereth—Thy life, in my behalf, wilt thou lay down? Verily, verily, I say unto thee—In nowise shall a cock crow till thou hast denied me, thrice.
