12 Hoc est praeceptum meum,
ut diligatis invicem,
sicut ego dilexi vos.
13 Maiorem hac dilectionem nemo habet
ut animam suam ponat quis pro amicis suis.
14 Vos amici mei estis si feceritis
quae ego praecipio vobis.
15 Vos autem dixi amicos quia omnia
quaecumque audivi a Patre meo nota feci vobis.

12 Das ist mein Gebot,
dass ihr euch untereinander liebt,
gleich wie ich euch liebe.
13 Niemand hat größere Liebe denn die,
dass er sein Leben lässt für seine Freunde.
14 Ihr seid meine Freunde, so ihr tut,
was ich euch gebiete.
15 Euch aber habe ich gesagt, dass ihr Freunde seid. Denn alles,
was ich habe von meinem Vater gehöret, habe ich euch kundgetan.
               Luther-Bibel 1545

12 This is my commandment,
that you love one another,
as I have loved you.
13 Greater love than this no man hath,
that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 You are my friends, if you do the things
that I command you.
15 But I have called you friends because all things,
whatsoever I have heard of my Father, I have made known to you.
