John 13:36

Peter returned to the subject of Jesus’ departure (John 13:33; John 8:21). He was unclear about where Jesus meant He would go. Jesus did not answer him unambiguously, probably because such an answer would have created even more serious problems for him. It was not God’s will for Peter to follow Jesus through death into heaven then, but it would be later (John 21:18-19). Jesus’ answer implied that Peter had asked his question so he could accompany Jesus wherever He was going. Peter’s statement was an indirect expression of affection for and commitment to Jesus.
