Book of Common Prayer

⁷ And^[a] the end of all things has drawn-near.

So Be Sober In Prayer, Loving One Another, And Good Stewards of God’s Gifts To You

Therefore be sound-minded and be sober in^[b] your prayers— ⁸ above all, having fervent love for each other, because love covers a multitude of sins; ⁹ being hospitable to one another without grumbling; ¹⁰ as each received a grace-gift, ministering it to each other as good stewards^[c] of the diversified grace of God— ¹¹ if anyone speaks, as speaking oracles^[d] of God; if anyone serves, as serving by strength which God supplies— in order that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ, to Whom is the glory and the dominion forever and ever, amen.

At Breakfast, Jesus Restores Peter. Do You Love Me? Feed My Sheep

¹⁵ Then when they ate-breakfast, Jesus says to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you devotedly-love^[a] Me more than these^[b]?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord. You know that I affectionately-love You”. He says to him, “Be feeding My lambs”. ¹⁶ He says to him again a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you devotedly-love Me?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord. You know that I affectionately-love You”. He says to him, “Be shepherding My sheep”. ¹⁷ He says to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you affectionately-love Me?” Peter was grieved because^[c] He said to him the third time, “Do you affectionately-love Me?”. And he says to Him, “Lord, You know all things. You recognize^[d] that I affectionately-love You”. Jesus says to him, “Be feeding My sheep. ¹⁸ Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger you were girding^[e] yourself and walking where you were wanting to go. But when you become-old^[f], you will stretch-out your hands and another will gird you and^[g] bring you where you are not wanting to go”. ¹⁹ Now this He said signifying by what kind^[h] of death he will glorify God. And having said this, He says to him, “Be following Me!”

Peter Asks Jesus About John

²⁰ Peter, having turned around, sees the disciple^[i] following them whom Jesus was loving— the one who also leaned back on His chest during dinner and said, “Lord, who is the one handing You over?” ²¹ So Peter, having looked-at this one, says to Jesus, “Lord, and what of this one? ²² Jesus says to him, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is it to you? You be following Me!” ²³ Therefore this statement went out to the brothers, that “that disciple does not die”. But Jesus did not say to him that he does not die, but “If I want him to remain until I come, what is it to you?”

John Concludes The Book

²⁴ This^[j] one is the disciple testifying about these things, and^[k] the one having written these things, and we know that his testimony is true. ²⁵ And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they should be written individually, I suppose that not even the world itself would have-room-for the books being written.
