Jn 13:31-14:14

  • where I am going, you cannot come
    • where I am going, you cannot follow now,but you will follow later (Jesus said to Peter)
  • A new command:
    • love one another
    • as I have loved you, you must love one another
    • by this all men will know that you are my disciples
  • disciples' reactions upon Jesus' pronounced departure:
    • Peter
      • where are you going?
      • why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.
        • to which Jesus answered Peter will disown him 3 times before the rooster crows
    • Thomas
      • how can we know the way if we don't know where you're going?
        • upon Jesus' promise to come back and take them to be where he will be
        • to which Jesus replied
          • I am the way and the truth and the life
          • No one comes to the Father except through me
    • Philip
      • show us the Father and that will be enough for us
        • to which Jesus replied
          • anyone who has seen me has seen the Father
          • I am in the Father, and the Father is in me
  • Jesus' promise on prayers
    • I will do whatever you ask in my name
      • so that the Son may bring glory to the Father
    • you may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it
