Translations:In what way was Jesus' command in John 13:34 "new"?/1/en

From Theonomy Wiki

It isn't the "love one another" part that is new -- that was already commanded back in Lev. 19:18.[1] The new part is "as I have loved you." We have now seen YHWH in the flesh interacting directly with us and providing us with specific examples of how we should love. I think a lot of these examples involve Jesus' specific emphases on humility, care for children, and personal forgiveness. But he also exemplified following Biblical law, as well.

  1. 18 ... but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am YHWH. Leviticus 19:18WEB
