And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe. I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming, and he has no claim on Me. But I do exactly what the Father has commanded Me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up! Let us go on from here.[’]”

This is My command to you: Love one another.”

Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.[’]”
