*
When they had dined ,
Jesus saith to Simon Peter ,
Simon ,
son of Jonah ,
lovest thou me more than these do ?
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 ,
son of Jonah ,
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 ,
son of Jonah ,
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 unto thee ,
when thou wast young ,
thou didst gird thyself ,
and walk whither thou wouldest :
but when thou art old ,
thou shalt stretch out thy hands ,
and another shall gird thee ,
and carry thee whither thou wouldest not .
*
This he said ,
signifying by what death he should glorify God .
And having said this ,
he saith to him ,
Follow me .
*
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 ,
what shall this man do ?
*
Jesus saith to him ,
If I will that he tarry till I come ,
what is it to thee ?
*
Follow thou me .
Then went this saying abroad among the brethren ,
that that disciple should not die .
Yet Jesus did not say to him ,
That he should not die :
but ,
If I will that he tarry till I come ,
what is it 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 were to be written particularly ,
I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that were written .
