John 1335

John 13:35 is a verse from the New Testament of the Christian Bible, specifically from the Gospel of John. It is part of Jesus' discourse to his disciples during the Last Supper. The verse reads: "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." This statement emphasizes the importance of love as a defining characteristic of Christian discipleship. The Greek word used for "love" here is agapē, which signifies a selfless, sacrificial love. In Hebrew, this verse can be translated as בְּזֹאת יֵדַע כָּל-אָדָם כִּי תְּלִמְדִי לִי, אִם-תֶּאֱהַב אִישׁ אֶת-רֵעֵהוּ. The context of this verse is significant as it comes after Jesus has washed the feet of his disciples, demonstrating humility and service. This act of humility is a practical example of the love that Jesus commands his followers to exhibit. The verse has been widely translated into many languages, such as Por esto conocerán todos que sois mis discípulos, si tenéis amor los unos por 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 Liebe untereinander habt in German. The message of John 13:35 underscores the central role of love in the Christian faith and serves as a call to action for believers to demonstrate their faith through acts of love and service.
