John 21:15-24

15Now when they had 1finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you 23love Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I 4love You.” He said to him, “Tend 5My lambs.” 16He said to him again, a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you 6love Me?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I 7love You.” He said to him, “8Shepherd My sheep.” 17He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you 9love Me?” Peter was 10hurt because He said to him 11the third time, “Do you 12love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, 13You know all things; You know that I 14love You.” Jesus said to him, “15Tend My sheep. 18Truly, truly I tell you, when you were younger, you used to put on your belt and walk wherever you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will put your belt on you, and bring you where you do not want to go.” 19Now He said this, 16indicating by 17what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had said this, He said to him, “18Follow Me!”

20Peter turned around and saw the 19disciple whom Jesus loved following them--the one who also had 20leaned back on His chest at the supper and said, “Lord, who is the one who is betraying You?” 21So Peter, upon seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?” 22Jesus said to him, “If I want him to remain 21until I come, what is that to you? You 22follow Me!” 23Therefore this 23account went out among 24the brothers, that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, “If I want him to remain 25until I come, what is that to you?”

24This is the disciple who 26is testifying about these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.
