By this shall men know that you are My disciples if you love one another

Jesus having loved His own He loved them to the end. He washed His disciples feet, that He might teach us to think, that nothing is below us, and to promote God's glory, and the good of the Brethen, and also the value of spiritual cleansing. And after supper being ended the devil having already entered into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him, Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into His hand, and that He had come from God and was going to God. Then He said to them I know whom I have chosen; But That the scripture may be fulfilled,  He who eats with Me has lifted up his heel against Me. Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He. When He said these things He was troubled in His spirit, And testified, That one of His disciple will betray Him. The disciples looked on each other, perplexed about whom He spoke. Simon Peter motion to the disciple that sat closest to Jesus, he ask who is it Master? Jesus answered, he to whom I give this sop, when I dipped it. and when He dipped the sop, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, after the sop Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, what you do, do quickly. Judas went out immediately, into the night. Christ had been glorified in many miracles, now He speaks of  being glorified in His sufferings. Which weighed heavenly on His heart.

After Judas went out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him. If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorified Him in Himself, and glorified Him immediately. A new commandment I give to you that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love another. By this will all men know that you are My disciples, if you have love one for another. Simon Peter said to Him, Lord, where are you going?" Jesus said to Him, where I am going you cannot come now, but you shall follow Me afterword." Peter said to Him, Lord, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for your sake."Jesus answered him, will you lay down your life for My sake? I say to you, the roster shall not crow till you have denied that you know Me three times.The disciples were troubled at the thought of their Master leaving, so Peter spoke up  But Jesus came into the world for One Mission and Only God Himself Could preform this impossible task, to bring Eternal life to the whole world. John 13:
