16 A second time He asked him, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me? ” “Yes, Lord,” he said to Him, “You know that I love You.”“Shepherd My sheep,” He told him.
17 He asked him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me? ”Peter was grieved that He asked him the third time, “Do you love Me? ” He said, “Lord, You know everything! You know that I love You.”“Feed My sheep,” Jesus said.
18 “I assure you: When you were young, you would tie your belt and walk wherever you wanted. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will tie you and carry you where you don’t want to go.”
19 He said this to signify by what kind of death he would glorify God. After saying this, He told him, “Follow Me! ”
20 So Peter turned around and saw the disciple Jesus loved following them. That disciple was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is the one that’s going to betray You? ”
21 When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord — what about him? ”
22 “If I want him to remain until I come,” Jesus answered, “what is that to you? As for you, follow Me.”
