John 21:15-19
15 Then, when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs." 16 He said to him again: "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs." 17 He said to him a third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was very grieved that he had asked him a third time, "Do you love me?" And so he said to him: "Lord, you know all things. You know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my sheep. 18 Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked wherever you wanted. But when you are older, you will extend your hands, and another shall gird you and lead you where you do not want to go." 19 Now he said this to signify by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, "Follow me." Acts 25:13b-21 For I am prepared, not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus." 14 And since we were not able to persuade him, we quieted, saying: "May the will of the Lord be done." 15 Then, after those days, having made preparations, we ascended to Jerusalem. 16 Now some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing with them a certain Cypriot named Mnason, a very old disciple, whose guests we would be. 17 And when we had arrived at Jerusalem, the brothers received us willingly. 18 Then, on the following day, Paul entered with us to James. And all the elders were assembled. 19 And when he had greeted them, he explained each thing that God had accomplished among the Gentiles through his ministry. 20 And they, upon hearing it, magnified God and said to him: "You understand, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law. 21 Now they have heard about you, that you are teaching those Jews who are among the Gentiles to withdraw from Moses, telling them that they should not circumcise their sons, nor act according to custom.
