Read John 21 in full →18“Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go.” 19Now this He said, asignifying by bwhat kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He *said to him, “cFollow Me!”
Jesus’ Command to Follow Him
20Peter, turning around, *saw the adisciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had bleaned back on His bosom at the supper and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays You?” 21So Peter seeing him *said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?” 22Jesus *said to him, “If I want him to remain auntil I come, what is that to you? You bfollow Me!” 23Therefore this saying went out among athe brothers that this disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, “If I want him to remain buntil I come, what is that to you?”
