15 Etter at de hadde spist, sa Jesus til Simon Peter: «Simon, Johannes' sønn, elsker du meg mer enn disse?» Han svarte: «Ja, Herre, du vet at jeg elsker deg.» Jesus sa: «Fø mine lam.»

16 Han spurte ham igjen: «Simon, Johannes' sønn, elsker du meg?» Han svarte: «Ja, Herre, du vet at jeg elsker deg.» Jesus sa: «Vokt mine får.»

Han spurte ham en tredje gang: «Simon, Johannes' sønn, elsker du meg?» Peter ble bedrøvet fordi Jesus spurte ham tredje gang: «Elsker du meg?» Han sa: «Herre, du vet alt; du vet at jeg elsker deg.» Jesus sa: «Fø mine får.

18 Sannelig, sannelig sier jeg deg, da du var yngre, kledde du deg selv og gikk dit du ville; men når du blir gammel, skal du strekke ut hendene dine, og en annen skal kle deg og føre deg dit du ikke vil.»

19 Dette sa Han for å betegne den slags død som Peter skulle ære Gud med. Etter å ha sagt dette, sa Han til ham: «Følg meg!»
