John:21:15-25




mnt@John:21:15 @ When they were through breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?" "Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me." he answered. Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs."

mnt@John:21:16 @ He said to him a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me." "Be a shepherd to my sheep," said Jesus.

mnt@John:21:17 @ The third time Jesus asked him, "Am I really dear to you?" Peter was grieved because the third time he asked, "Am I really dear to you?" and he answered, "Master, you know all things, you know that you are dear to me."

mnt@John:21:18 @ "Feed my sheep," said Jesus. "In solemn truth I tell you that when you were young, you used to put on your own girdle, and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old you will stretch out your hands for some one to gird you, and carry you where you do not wish to go."

mnt@John:21:19 @ This he said to show by what kind of death Peter was to glorify God. After speaking thus, he said to him, "Follow me."

mnt@John:21:20 @ Peter turned around and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following - he who at the supper leaned back upon his breast and said, "Lord, who is to betray you?"

mnt@John:21:21 @ On catching sight of him, Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, what about him?"

mnt@John:21:22 @ "If I choose that he remain until I come," said Jesus, "what is that to you? Do you follow me."

mnt@John:21:23 @ Accordingly the report spread among the brothers that this disciple should not die; but Jesus did not say that he was not to die, but said, "If I choose that he remain until I come, what is that to you?"

mnt@John:21:24 @ It is this disciple who bears testimony to these facts and who recorded them; and we know that his testimony is true.

mnt@John:21:25 @ But there are also many other things which Jesus did; if every one of them were to be recorded in detail I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would have to be written.
