You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come.</p><p>34&nbsp;“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35&nbsp;By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”</p><p>36&nbsp;Simon Peter asked him, “Lord, where are you going?”</p><p>Jesus replied, “Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.”</p><p>37&nbsp;Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”</p><p>38&nbsp;Then Jesus answered, “Will you really lay down your life for me? Very truly I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!</p><p><br></p><h3>Jesus Comforts His Disciples</h3><p>14&nbsp;“Do not let your hearts be troubled.

No one comes to the Father except through me. 7&nbsp;If you really know me, you will know[<a href=\"https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2013%3A31%E2%80%9314%3A14&amp;version=NIV#fen-NIV-26676c\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">c</a>] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”</p><p>8&nbsp;Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”</p><p>9&nbsp;Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10&nbsp;Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11&nbsp;Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. 12&nbsp;Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13&nbsp;And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14&nbsp;You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.</p>","author_name":"City Church Tulsa"}
