JOHN 21:15-25\n\n15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, \u201cSimon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?\u201d \n\u201cYes, Lord,\u201d he said, \u201cyou know that I love you.\u201d \nJesus said, \u201cFeed my lambs.\u201d \n16 Again Jesus said, \u201cSimon son of John, do you truly love me?\u201d \nHe answered, \u201cYes, Lord, you know that I love you.\u201d \nJesus said, \u201cTake care of my sheep.\u201d \n17 The third time he said to him, \u201cSimon son of John, do you love me?\u201d \nPeter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, \u201cDo you love me?\u201d He said, \u201cLord, you know all things; you know that I love you.\u201d \nJesus said, \u201cFeed my sheep. 18 I tell you the truth, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.\u201d 19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, \u201cFollow me!\u201d \n20 Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, \u201cLord, who is going to betray you?\u201d) 21 When Peter saw him, he asked, \u201cLord, what about him?\u201d \n22 Jesus answered, \u201cIf I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.\u201d 23 Because of this, the rumor spread among the brothers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, \u201cIf I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?\u201d \n24 This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true. \n25 Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
