John 21:13-22

¹³Then Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish in the same way.

¹⁴Now this was the third time that Jesus let himself be seen by the disciples after he had come back from the dead.

¹⁵Then when they had taken food, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, is your love for me greater than the love of these others? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you are certain of my love for you. He said to him, Then give my lambs food.

¹⁶Again, a second time, he said to him, Simon, son of John, have you any love for me? Yes, Lord, he said, you are certain of my love for you. Then take care of my sheep, said Jesus.

¹⁷He said to him a third time, Simon, son of John, am I dear to you? Now Peter was troubled in his heart because he put the question a third time, Am I dear to you? And he said to him, Lord, you have knowledge of all things; you see that you are dear to me. Jesus said to him, Then give my sheep food.

¹⁸Truly I say to you, When you were young, you made yourself ready and went wherever you had a desire to go: but when you are old, you will put out your hands and another will make you ready, and you will be taken where you have no desire to go.

¹⁹Now this he said, pointing out the sort of death by which he would give God glory. And after saying this, he said to him, Come after me.

²⁰Then Peter, turning round, saw the disciple who was dear to Jesus coming after them — the disciple who was resting on his breast at the last meal, and said, Lord, who is it who will be false to you?

²¹Seeing him, Peter said to Jesus, What about this man?

²²Jesus said to him, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you? come yourself after me.
