Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, where do you go? Jesus answered him,
Where I go, you cannot follow me now; but you shall follow me afterwards.
All Commentaries on John 13:36 Go To John 13
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
You cannot follow me yet to the dying for justice sake, for you are not yet prepared for martyrdom; you cannot yet follow me to the glory of my body, when risen from the dead, but must wait till the general resurrection; you cannot follow me to the bosom of my Father, being not yet sufficiently perfected in charity. (St. Augustine, tract. 64. in Joan.)
