* When therefore they had breakfasted , says to the Simon Peter the Jesus : Simon of Jona , lovest thou me more of these ? He says to him : Yes , O lord , thou knowest , that I dearly love thee . He says to him : Feed the lambs of me . * He says to him again a second time : Simon of Jona , lovest thou me ? He says to him : Yes , O lord , thou knowest , that I dearly love thee . He says to him : Tend thou the sheep of me . * He says to him the third : Simon of Jona , dearly lovest thou me ? Was grieved the Peter , because he said to him the third , Dearly lovest me thou ? and he said to him : O lord , thou all things knowest ; thou knowest , that i dearly love thee . Says to him the Jesus : Feed the sheep of me . * Indeed indeed I say to thee , when thou wast younger , thou didst gird thyself , and didst walk where thou didst wish ; when but thou art old , thou wilt stretch out the hands of thee , and another thee will gird , and will carry where not thou wishest . * This now he said , signifying , by what death he will glorify the God . And this having said , he says to him : Follow me . * Having turned about and the Peter sees the disciples , whom loved the Jesus , following (who also reclined at the supper on the breast of him , and said : O lord , who is he betraying thee ?) * Him seeing the Peter says to the Jesus : O lord , this and what ? * Says to him the Jesus : If him I wish to abide till I come , what to thee ? thou follow me . * Went out therefore the word this among the brethren , that the disciple that not dies . And not said to him the Jesus , that not he dies ; but : If him I wish to abide till I come , what to thee ? * This is the disciple , he testifying concerning these things , and having written these things ; and we know , that true is the testimony of him . * Is and also other many things did the Jesus , which if they should be written every one , not even him I suppose the world to contain the being written books .
