Very truly, I tell you, servants are not greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them. | Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him. |
Very truly, I tell you, whoever receives one whom I send receives me; and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. | Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me. |
I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. | A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another. |
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. | By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. |
