John 13 — Context

29

Some were of the opinion that because Judas kept the money-bag Jesus said to him, Get the things we have need of for the feast; or, that he was to give something to the poor.

30

So Judas, having taken the bit of bread, straight away went out: and it was night.

31

Then when he had gone out, Jesus said, Now is glory given to the Son of man, and God is given glory in him.

32

If God is given glory in him, God will give him glory in himself, and will give him glory even now.

33

My dear children, I am only to be with you a little longer. Then you will be looking for me: and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, Where I am going you may not come.

34

I give you a new law: Have love one for another; even as I have had love for you, so are you to have love one for another.

35

By this it will be clear to all men that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.
