John 21:15–25

¹⁵So when they had ^xdined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, ^aSimon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me ^bmore than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. ¹⁶He saith to him again the second time, ^aSimon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, ^cFeed my sheep. ¹⁷He saith unto him the third time, ^aSimon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him ^dthe third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, ^ethou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. ^18fVerily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou ^ggirdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. ^19hThis spake he, signifying ⁱby what death he should ^hglorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, ^kFollow me. ²⁰Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple ^lwhom Jesus loved following; ^mwhich also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee? ²¹Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? ²²Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he ⁿtarry ^otill I come, what is that to thee? ^kfollow thou me. ²³Then went this saying abroad among ^pthe brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?

²⁴This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and ^qwe know ^rthat his testimony is true. ^25sAnd there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that ^teven the world itself could not ^ucontain the books that should be written. Amen.
