John 21:18-22

Jesus and Peter

18 d Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, e you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go." 19 (This he said to show f by what kind of death he was to glorify God.) And after saying this he said to him, g "Follow me."
