## John 13:36-37 in Context (Verses 33–38 KJV)
 
 [33 ](/kjv/john/13/33) Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.
 
 [34 ](/kjv/john/13/34) A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
 
 [35 ](/kjv/john/13/35) By this shall all *men* know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
 
 [36 ](/kjv/john/13/36) ¶ Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.
 
 [37 ](/kjv/john/13/37) Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.
 
 [38 ](/kjv/john/13/38) Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.
