but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.

Jesus replied, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come from God and am now here. I have not come on my own initiative, but he sent me.

So the sisters sent a message to Jesus, "Lord, look, the one you love is sick."

"I give you a new commandment -- to love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

Everyone will know by this that you are my disciples -- if you have love for one another."

"If you love me, you will obey my commandments.

The person who has my commandments and obeys them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him."

Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and take up residence with him.

The person who does not love me does not obey my words. And the word you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

but I am doing just what the Father commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up, let us go from here."

"Just as the Father has loved me, I have also loved you; remain in my love.

If you obey my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commandments and remain in his love.

My commandment is this -- to love one another just as I have loved you.

No one has greater love than this -- that one lays down his life for his friends.

This I command you -- to love one another.

If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own. However, because you do not belong to the world, but I chose you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you.

I made known your name to them, and I will continue to make it known, so that the love you have loved me with may be in them, and I may be in them."

Then when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these do?" He replied, "Yes, Lord, you know I love you." Jesus told him, "Feed my lambs."

Jesus said a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He replied, "Yes, Lord, you know I love you." Jesus told him, "Shepherd my sheep."

Jesus said a third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was distressed that Jesus asked him a third time, "Do you love me?" and said, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you." Jesus replied, "Feed my sheep.
