16 Voltou a lhe a dizer a segunda vez: Simão, [filho] de Jonas, tu me amas? Disse-lhe: Sim, Senhor, tu sabes que te amo. Disse-lhe: Apascenta minhas ovelhas.
17 Disse-lhe a terceira vez: Simão, [filho] de Jonas, tu me amas? Entristeceu-se Pedro de que já pela terceira vez lhe dissesse: Tu me amas? E disse-lhe: Senhor, tu sabes todas as coisas, tu sabes que eu te amo. Disse-lhe Jesus: Alimenta minhas ovelhas.
18 Em verdade, em verdade te digo, que quando eras mais jovem, tu mesmo te vestias, e andava por onde querias; mas quando fores já velho, estenderás tuas mãos, e outro te vestirá, e te levará para onde tu não queres.
19 E disse isto, fazendo entender que [Pedro] glorificaria a Deus com [sua] morte. E tendo dito isto, [Jesus] lhe disse: Segue-me.
20 E virando-se Pedro, viu que [o] seguia aquele discípulo a quem Jesus amava, o que também na ceia se recostara a seu peito, e dissera: Senhor, quem é o que te trairá?
