     06/13 - GospeL Verses 

(Still by the sea) 16 - Jesus said to Peter a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter answered, “Yes, Lord, you know I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” 17 Then he said to him a third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter felt grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” so he said to him, “Lord! You know everything! You know I love you!” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep. 18 Truly, I tell you, when you were young, you would dress yourself and go wherever you wanted, but when you’re old, you’ll stretch out your hands, and another will dress you, and carry you where you don’t want to go.” 19 This he said to show by what kind of death he would suffer, but glorify God by. And after saying it, he said, “Follow me.” {Be sure to follow me, and you will be able to feed my sheep nourishing food at the proper time. ..And not be found confused with the confused, aka with “the world”, nor found of him beating up on other members of the household.. in word, thought or deed. There are many enchantments, it really doesn’t matter which overcomes, a little leaven leavens the whole lump. Not to be confused with Mt.13:33, key word 3. Three harvests - barley, wheat and grape -> 1Cor.15:22-28. All the all’s are “pas/all”, in 27 and 28. Also Jn.13:3, Rev.21:5.. and more. Twice or three times(?) in Eph.1:10.}

     20 Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them. (This is how John, the author, referred to himself.) The one who also had leaned back against him during supper that night, and said, “Lord, who is it that’s going to betray you?” 21 When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about him?” 22 Jesus said to him, “If it’s my will he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.” 23 So after a while the saying spread among all the brothers and sisters that this disciple was not to die. Yet Jesus didn’t say he wasn’t going to die, but, “If, it’s my will he remain until I come, what is that to you?”

     24 This is the disciple who is bearing witness about all these things, and who has written this account of them, and we know his testimony is true. {Saw it with his own eyes.} 25 There are also many other things that Jesus did. But if every one of them were to be written, I suppose the world itself couldn’t contain the books that would be written. {Imagine all that will be accomplished during long second advent! After he “comes”.}
