By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.”​—John 13:34, 35.

3. Were the Jews under the Mosaic law commanded to love one another? Give reasons for your answer.

³ Jesus here showed that genuine love was to be the identifying mark of his true disciples.

But, above all, Jesus’ disciples were to have love for one another. So they were to be outstanding in their love among themselves. It should be something that would readily identify them as different from people of the world in general.
