John 21:15-25 — Jesus Reinstates Peter
John.21.15-25
15So when they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” 16He said to him again a second time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Shepherd my sheep.” 17He said to him the third time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep .” 18Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go." 19Now he said this to indicate by what kind of death he would glorify God. And after saying this, he said to him, “Follow me.” 20Turning around, Peter saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, the one who had also leaned back against his chest at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is the one betraying you?” 21So when Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?” 22Jesus said to him, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!” 23Therefore this saying went out among the brothers, that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?” 24This is the disciple who testifies about these things and who wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true. 25Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that not even the world itself would have room for the books that would be written.
