17He said vnto him the third time, Simon the sonne of Iona, louest thou me? Peter was sorie because he said to him the third time, Louest thou me? and said vnto him, Lord, thou knowest all things: thou knowest that I loue thee. Iesus saide vnto him, Feede my sheepe.
18Verely, verely I say vnto thee, When thou wast yong, thou girdedst thy selfe, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be olde, thou shalt stretch foorth thine hands, and another shall gird thee, and lead thee whither thou wouldest not.
19And this spake he signifying by what death he shoulde glorifie God. And when he had said this, he said to him, Folowe me.
20Then Peter turned about, and sawe the disciple whom JESUS loued, folowing, which had also leaned on his breast at supper, and had saide, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?
21When Peter therefore sawe him, he saide to Iesus, Lord, what shall this man doe?
22Iesus said vnto him, If I will that he tarie till I come, what is it to thee? follow thou me.
23Then went this worde abroade among the brethren, that this disciple shoulde not die. Yet Iesus saide not to him, He shall not die: but if I will that he tarie till I come, what is it to thee?
24This is that disciple, which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things, and we know that his testimonie is true.
