By This Everyone Will Know That You Are My Disciples If You Love One Another

The phrase "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another" is a well-known statement attributed to Jesus Christ in the New Testament of the Bible, specifically in John 13:35. This statement serves as a commandment and a distinguishing mark for followers of Jesus, emphasizing the importance of love as a defining characteristic of Christian discipleship. The phrase is often interpreted as a call to demonstrate love for one another as a visible sign of faith and commitment to Christ's teachings. In Hebrew, this phrase can be translated as "בזה יודעו כל שהאתם תלמידי אם תאהבו איש את אחיו". Translations in other relevant languages include "En esto conocerán todos que sois mis discípulos, si os tenéis amor los unos a los otros" in Spanish, "C'est à ceci que tous reconnaîtront que vous êtes mes disciples : si vous avez de l'amour les uns pour les autres" in French, and "Daran werden alle erkennen, dass ihr meine Jünger seid, wenn ihr einander liebt" in German. The context of this statement is found in the Gospel of John, where Jesus washes the feet of his disciples, demonstrating humility and servanthood, and then commands them to love one another as he has loved them.
