Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I have come from God. I have not come of my own accord, but he has sent me.

I give you a new command: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, you must love one another.

By this they will all know that you are my disciples??y your love for one another."

"If you really love me, you will observe my commands.

It is he who has my commands and observes them that really loves me, and whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and show myself to him."

Jesus answered, "Anyone who loves me will observe my teaching, and my Father will love him and we will come to him and live with him.

No one who does not love me will observe my teaching, and yet the teaching you are listening to is not mine but is that of him who has sent me.

but he is coming that the world may know that I love the Father and am doing what he has commanded me to do. Come, let us go away.

I have loved you just as the Father has loved me. You must retain my love.

If you keep my commands you will retain my love, just as I have observed the Father's commands and retain his love.

The command that I give you is to love one another just as I have loved you.

No one can show greater love than by giving up his life for his friends.

"What I command you to do is to love one another.

I in union with them and you with me, so that they may be perfectly unified, and the world may recognize that you sent me and that you love them just as you loved me.

I have made your self known to them and I will do so still, so that the love which you have had for me may be in their hearts, and I may be there also."

When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, are you more devoted to me than these others are?" Peter said to him, "Yes, Master, you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Then feed my lambs!"

Again Jesus said to him a second time, "Simon, son of John, are you devoted to me?" He said to him, "Yes, Master, you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Then be a shepherd to my sheep!"

Jesus said to him a third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was hurt because the third time Jesus asked him if he loved him, and he answered, "Master, you know everything, you can see that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Then feed my sheep!
