John 21:15-25

15So whenG3753 they had broken their fast, JesusG2424 saith to SimonG4613 PeterG4074, SimonG4613, son of JohnG2491G2495, lovest thou me moreG4183 than these? He saith unto him, Yea, LordG2962; thou knowest that I loveG25 thee. He saith unto him, FeedG1006 my lambsG721. 16He saith to him againG3825 a secondG1208 timeG1208, SimonG4613, son of JohnG2491G2495, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, LordG2962; thou knowest that I loveG25 thee. He saith unto him, Tend my sheepG4263. 17He saith unto him the thirdG5154 timeG5154, SimonG4613, son of JohnG2491G2495, lovest thou me? PeterG4074 was grievedG3076 because he saidG3004 unto him the thirdG5154 timeG5154, Lovest thou me? And he saidG3004 unto him, LordG2962, thou knowest all thingsG3956; thou knowest that I loveG5368 thee. JesusG2424 saith unto him, FeedG1006 my sheepG4263. 18Verily, verily, I sayG3004 unto thee, WhenG3752 thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but whenG3752 thou shalt beG1510 old, thou shalt stretchG1614 forth thy handsG5495, and another shall gird thee, and carryG5342 thee whither thou wouldest not. 19NowG1161 this he spake, signifyingG4591 by what manner of deathG2288 he should glorifyG1392 GodG2316. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, FollowG190 me. 20PeterG4074, turningG1994 about, seeth the discipleG3101 whom JesusG2424 lovedG25 followingG190; who alsoG2532 leaned backG1994 on his breastG4738 at the supperG1173, and saidG3004, LordG2962, who isG1510 he that betrayeth thee? 21PeterG4074 thereforeG3767 seeingG3708 him saith to JesusG2424, LordG2962, and what shall this manG3778 do? 22JesusG2424 saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I comeG2064, what is that to thee? followG190 thou me. 23This sayingG3004 thereforeG3767 wentG1831 forthG1831 among the brethren, that that discipleG3101 should not dieG599: yet JesusG2424 saidG3004 not unto him, that he should not dieG599; but, If I will that he tarry till I comeG2064, what is that to thee?

24This isG1510 the discipleG3101 that beareth witnessG3140 of these thingsG3778, and wroteG1125 these thingsG3778: and we know that his witnessG3140 isG1510 trueG227.

25And there areG1510 alsoG2532 manyG4183 otherG243 thingsG4183 which JesusG2424 did, the which if they should beG1510 writtenG1125 every oneG1520, I supposeG3633 that evenG2532 the worldG2889 itself would not contain the booksG975 that should beG1510 writtenG1125.
