John 21:18-23

¹⁸“In truth I tell you,” he continued, “when you were young, you used to put on your own clothes, and walk wherever you wished; but, when you have grown old, you will have to stretch out your hands, while someone else puts on your clothes, and takes you where you do not wish.”

¹⁹Jesus said this to show the death by which Peter was to honor God, and then he added, “Follow me.”

²⁰Peter turned around, and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following — the one who at the supper leant back on the Master's shoulder, and asked him who it was who would betray him.

²¹Seeing him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, what about this man?”

²²“If it is my will that he should wait until I come,” answered Jesus, “what has that to do with you? Follow me yourself.”

²³So the report spread among his followers that that disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say that he was not to die, but said “If it is my will that he should wait until I come, what has that to do with you?”
