The New Commandment

31 So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, a“Now the Son of Man is glorified, and bGod is glorified in Him.  
32 If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and aglorify Him immediately.  
33 Little children, I shall be with you a alittle while longer. You will seek Me; band as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’ so now I say to you.  
34 aA new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.  
35 aBy this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”  

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

36 Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I aam going you cannot follow Me now, but byou shall follow Me afterward.”  
37 Peter said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will alay down my life for Your sake.”

John 13:33-35

Little children—From the height of His own glory He now descends, with sweet pity, to His "little children," all now His own. This term of endearment, nowhere else used in the Gospels, and once only employed by Paul (Galatians 4:19), is appropriated by the beloved disciple himself, who no fewer than seven times employs it in his first Epistle.

Ye shall seek me—feel the want of Me.

as I said to the Jews— (John 7:34; John 8:21). But oh in what a different sense!
