Now before the feast of the Passover, it was clear to Jesus that the time had come for him to go away from this world to the Father. Having once had love for those in the world who were his, his love for them went on to the end.

He who has my laws and keeps them, he it is who has love for me: and he who has love for me will be loved by my Father, and I will have love for him and will let myself be seen clearly by him.

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.

Even as the Father has given me his love, so I have given my love to you: be ever in my love.

Then when they had taken food, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, is your love for me greater than the love of these others? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you are certain of my love for you. He said to him, Then give my lambs food.

If you keep my laws, you will be ever in my love, even as I have kept my Father's laws, and am ever in his love.

This is the law I give you: Have love one for another, even as I have love for you.

For the Father himself gives his love to you, because you have given your love to me and have had faith that I came from God.

Again, a second time, he said to him, Simon, son of John, have you any love for me? Yes, Lord, he said, you are certain of my love for you. Then take care of my sheep, said Jesus.
