36 Simon Peter asked him, “Lord, where are you going?”(A)

Jesus replied, “Where I am going, you cannot follow now,(B) but you will follow later.”(C)

38 Then Jesus answered, “Will you really lay down your life for me? Very truly I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!(D)

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled.(E) You believe(F) in God[a];(G) believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there(H) to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back(I) and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.(J)

37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
