18 I tell you for certain, tho' when you was a youth you girded your self, and rambled where you had a mind: yet when you are old, your hands shall be stretch'd out, and another shall gird thee, and lead thee where you will be unwilling to go. 19 this he said to signify to Peter by what death he should glorify God, and when he had spoken this, he said to him, follow me. 20 Then Peter turning about, saw the favourite disciple of Jesus was behind; the same who leaned next to Jesus at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that is to betray you? 21 upon seeing him, Peter said to Jesus, Lord, and what shall become of him? 22 Jesus said, if I will have him stay till I come, what have you to do with that? do you follow me. 23 which occasion'd a flying rumour among the brethren, that John should not die: tho' Jesus had not said, he shall not die: but, if I will have him stay till I come, what have you to do with that? 24 This is the disciple who testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true. 25 the other transactions of Jesus are so numerous, that if these were to be particularly descried, I imagine the world would be overwhelm'd with the books that should be written.
