________________ him then God will glorify the Son of Man - and that without delay. Oh, my children, I am with you such a short time! You will look for me and I have to tell you as I told the Jews, 'Where I am going, you cannot follow.' Now I am giving you a new command - love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you must love one another. This is how all men will know that you are my disciples, because you have such love for one another." 13:36 - Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" "I am going." replied Jesus, "where you cannot follow now, though you will follow me later." 13:37 - "Lord, why can't I follow you now? said Peter. "I would lay down my life for you!" 13:38 - "Would you lay down your life for me?" replied Jesus. "Believe me, you will disown me three times before the cock crows!" CHAPTER 14 Jesus reveals spiritual truths 14:1-4 - "You must not let yourselves be distressed - you must hold on to your faith in God and to your faith in me. There are many rooms in my Father's House. If there were not, should I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? It is true that I am going away to prepare a place for you, but it is just as true that I am coming again to welcome you into my own home, so that you may be where I am. You know where I am going and you know the road I am going to take." 14:5 - "Lord," Thomas remonstrated, "we do not know where you're going, and how can we know what road you're going to take?" 14:6-7 - "I myself am the road," replied Jesus, "and the truth and the life. No one approaches the Father except through me. If you had known who I am, you would have known my Father. From now on, you do know him and you have seen him." Jesus explains his relationship with the Father 14:8 - Then Philip said to him, "Show us the Father, Lord, and we shall be satisfied." 14:9-14 - "Have I been such a long time with you," returned Jesus, "without your really knowing me, Philip? The man who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The very words say to you are not my own. It is the Father who lives in me who carries out his work through me. Do you believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? But if you cannot, then believe me because of what you see me do. I assure you that the man who believes in me will do the same things that I have done, yes, and he will do even greater things than these, for I am going away to the Father. Whatever
