John 21:15-23

15SoG3767 whenG3753 they had 1finishedG709 breakfastG709, JesusG2424 saidG3004 to SimonG4613 PeterG4074, “SimonG4613, son of JohnG2491G2495, do you 23loveG25 Me moreG4183 than theseG3778?” He saidG3004 to Him, “YesG3483, LordG2962; You knowG3609 that I 4loveG5368 You.” He saidG3004 to him, “TendG1006 5My lambsG721.” 16He saidG3004 to him againG3825 a secondG1208 timeG1208, “SimonG4613, son of JohnG2491G2495, do you 6loveG25 Me?” He saidG3004 to Him, “YesG3483, LordG2962; You knowG3609 that I 7loveG5368 You.” He saidG3004 to him, “8ShepherdG4165 My sheepG4263.” 17He saidG3004 to him the thirdG5154 timeG5154, “SimonG4613, son of JohnG2491G2495, do you 9loveG5368 Me?” PeterG4074 was grievedG3076 becauseG3754 He saidG3004 to him 10the thirdG5154 timeG5154, “Do you 11loveG5368 Me?” And he saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, 12You knowG3609 allG3956 thingsG3956; You knowG1097 that I 13loveG5368 You.” JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “14TendG1006 My sheepG4263. 18TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, whenG3753 you were youngerG3501, you used to girdG2224 yourselfG4572 and walkG4043 whereverG3699 you wishedG2309; but whenG3752 you growG1095 oldG1095, you will stretchG1614 out your handsG5495 and someoneG243 elseG243 will girdG2224 you, and bringG5342 you whereG3699 you do not wishG2309 to go.” 19NowG1161 thisG3778 He saidG3004, 15signifyingG4591 by 16whatG4169 kindG4169 of deathG2288 he would glorifyG1392 GodG2316. And when He had spokenG3004 thisG3778, He saidG3004 to him, “17FollowG190 Me!”

20PeterG4074, turningG1994 aroundG1994, sawG991 the 18discipleG3101 whomG3739 JesusG2424 lovedG25 followingG190 them; the one whoG3739 alsoG2532 had 19leanedG377 backG377 on His bosomG4738 at the supperG1173 and saidG3004, “LordG2962, whoG5101 is the one who betraysG3860 You?” 21SoG3767 PeterG4074 seeingG3708 him saidG3004 to JesusG2424, “LordG2962, and whatG5101 about thisG3778 manG3778?” 22JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “IfG1437 I wantG2309 him to remainG3306 20untilG2193 I comeG2064, whatG5101 is that to you? You 21followG190 Me!” 23ThereforeG3767 thisG3778 sayingG3056 wentG1831 out amongG1519 22the brethrenG80 that that discipleG3101 would not dieG599; yetG1161 JesusG2424 did not sayG3004 to him that he would not dieG599, but only, “IfG1437 I wantG2309 him to remainG3306 23untilG2193 I comeG2064, whatG5101 is that to you?”
