---

← John 21:17 [words of Jesus]	John 21:18 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	John 21:19 [words of Jesus] →
He saith unto him the third time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.	Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst 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.	This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
