35 En esto conocerán todos que sois mis discípulos, si tuviereis amor los unos con los otros.

36 Dícele Simón Pedro: Señor, ¿adónde vas? Respondióle Jesús: Donde yo voy, no me puedes ahora seguir; mas me seguirás después.

37 Dícele Pedro: Señor, ¿por qué no te puedo seguir ahora? mi alma pondré por ti.
