John 21:18-22

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, 1indicating by 2what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had said this, He said to him, “3Follow Me!”

20Peter turned around and saw the 4disciple whom Jesus loved following them--the one who also had 5leaned 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 6until I come, what is that to you? You 7follow Me!”
