Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, "Lovest thou
me?" And he said unto him, "Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest
that I love thee."
Jesus saith unto him, "Feed my sheep. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When
thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest;
but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another
shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not."
Now this he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should glorify
God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, "Follow me."
Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; who
also leaned back on his breast at the supper, and said, "Lord, who is he
that betrayeth thee?" Peter therefore seeing him saith to Jesus, "Lord,
and what shall this man do?"
Jesus saith unto him, "If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that
to thee? Follow thou me."
This saying therefore went forth among the brethren, that that disciple
should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, that he should not die,
but, "If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?"
