John:21:15-25
Seeker Overlay ON
*
So when they had dined ,
Jesus saith to Simon Peter ,
Simon ,
of Jonas ,
lovest thou me more than these ?
He saith to him ,
Yea ,
Lord ;
thou knowest that I love thee .
He saith to him ,
Feed my lambs .
*
He saith to him again the second time ,
Simon ,
of Jonas ,
lovest thou me ?
He saith to him ,
Yea ,
Lord ;
thou knowest that I love thee .
He saith to him ,
Feed my sheep .
*
He saith to him the third time ,
Simon ,
of Jonas ,
lovest thou me ?
Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time ,
Lovest thou me ?
And he said to him ,
Lord ,
thou knowest all things ;
thou knowest that I love thee .
Jesus saith to him ,
Feed my sheep .
*
Verily ,
verily ,
I say to thee ,
When thou wast young ,
thou didst gird thyself ,
and didst walk where thou wouldest :
but when thou shalt be old ,
thou shalt stretch forth thy hands ,
and another shall gird thee ,
and carry where thou wouldest not .
*
This he spoke ,
signifying by what death he should glorify God .
And when he had spoken this ,
he saith to him ,
Follow me .
*
Then Peter ,
turning about ,
seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following ;
who also leaned on his breast at supper ,
and said ,
Lord ,
who is he that betrayeth thee ?
*
Peter seeing him saith to Jesus ,
Lord ,
and what this man ?
*
Jesus saith to him ,
If I will that he shall tarry till I come ,
what to thee ?
follow thou me .
*
Then this saying went abroad among the brethren ,
that that disciple should not die :
yet Jesus said not to him ,
He shall not die ;
but ,
If I will that he shall tarry till I come ,
what to thee ?
*
This is the disciple who testifieth of these things ,
and wrote these things :
and we know that his testimony is true .
*
And there are also many other things which Jesus did ,
which ,
if they should be written every one ,
I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written .
Amen .
