Jesus Tells What Will Happen to Him
After Jesus had said these things, he was deeply troubled and told his disciples, "I tell you for certain that one of you will betray me." They were confused about what he meant. And they just stared at each other. Jesus? favorite disciple was sitting next to him at the meal, 24 and Simon motioned for that disciple to find out which one Jesus meant. 25 So the disciple leaned toward Jesus and asked, "Lord, which one of us are you talking about?"
26 Jesus answered, "I will dip this piece of bread in the sauce and give it to the one I was talking about." Then Jesus dipped the bread and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 Right then Satan took control of Judas. Jesus said, "Judas, go quickly and do what you have to do." 28 No one at the meal understood what Jesus meant. 29 But because Judas was in charge of the money, some of them thought that Jesus had told him to buy something they needed for the festival. Others thought that Jesus had told him to give some money to the poor. 30 Judas took the piece of bread and went out.
It was already night.
The New Command
31 After Judas had gone, Jesus said: Now the Son of Man will be given glory, and he will bring glory to God. 32 Then, after God is given glory because of him, God will bring glory to him, and God will do it very soon.
33 My children, I will be with you for a little while longer. Then you will look for me, but you won?t find me. I tell you just as I told the people, "You cannot go where I am going." 34 But I am giving you a new command. You must love each other, just as I have loved you. 35 If you love each other, everyone will know that you are my disciples.
Peter?s Promise
36 Simon Peter asked, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "You can?t go with me now, but later on you will." 37 Peter asked, "Lord, why can?t I go with you now? I would die for you!" 38 "Would you really die for me?" Jesus asked. "I tell you for certain that before a rooster crows, you will say three times that you don?t even know me."
Jesus Is the Way to the Father
14 Jesus said to his disciples, "Don?t be worried! Have faith in God and have faith in me. 2 There are many rooms in my Father?s house. I wouldn?t tell you this, unless it was true. I am going there to prepare a place for each of you. 3 After I have done this, I will come back and take you with me. Then we will be together. 4 You know the way to where I am going."
5 Thomas said, "Lord, we don?t even know where you are going! How can we know the way?" 6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life!" Jesus answered. "Without me, no one can go to the Father. 7 If you had known me, you would have known the Father. But from now on, you do know him, and you have seen him." 8 Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father. That is all we need." 9 Jesus replied: Philip, I have been with you for a long time. Don?t you know who I am? If you have seen me, you have seen the Father. How can you ask me to show you the Father? 10 Don?t you believe that I am one with the Father and that the Father is one with me? What I say isn?t said on my own. The Father who lives in me does these things.
