John 21:15-19
Revised Standard Version

Jesus and Peter

15 When they had finished breakfast, 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.” 16 A second time he said to him, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” 17 He 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. 18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you girded yourself and walked where you would; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish to go.” 19 (This he said to show by what death he was to glorify God.) And after this he said to him, “Follow me.”

John 21:15-19
American Standard Version

15 So when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of [a]John, [b]lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I [c]love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. 16 He saith to him again a second time, Simon, son of [d]John, [e]lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I [f]love thee. He saith unto him, Tend my sheep. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of [g]John, [h]lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, [i]Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou [j]knowest that I [k]love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 18 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. 19 Now this he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
