John 21:18-25

¹⁸Verily, verily, I say to thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst where thou desiredst; but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and bring thee where thou dost not desire.

¹⁹But he said this signifying by what death he should glorify God. And having said this, he says to him, Follow me.

²⁰Peter, turning round, sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also leaned at supper on his breast, and said, Lord, who is it that delivers thee up?

²¹Peter, seeing him, says to Jesus, Lord, and what of this man?

²²Jesus says to him, If I will that he abide until I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.

²³This word therefore went out among the brethren, That disciple does not die. And Jesus did not say to him, He does not die; but, If I will that he abide until I come, what is that to thee?

²⁴This is the disciple who bears witness concerning these things, and who has written these things; and we know that his witness is true.

²⁵And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which if they were written one by one, I suppose that not even the world itself would contain the books written.
