John.21:15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou know­est that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
John.21:16 He saith to him again the sec­ond time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou know­est that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
John.21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved be­cause he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou know­est all things; thou know­est that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
John.21:18 Ver­ily, ver­ily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou gird­est thy­self, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and an­other shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
John.21:19 This spake he, sig­ni­fy­ing by what death he should glo­rify God. And when he had spo­ken this, he saith unto him, Fol­low me.
John.21:20 Then Peter, turn­ing about, seeth the dis­ci­ple whom Jesus loved fol­low­ing; which also leaned on his breast at sup­per, and said, Lord, which is he that be­trayeth thee?
John.21:21 Peter see­ing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?
John.21:22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? fol­low thou me.
John.21:23 Then went this say­ing abroad among the brethren, that that dis­ci­ple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
John.21:24 This is the dis­ci­ple which tes­ti­fi­eth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his tes­ti­mony is true.
John.21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be writ­ten every one, I sup­pose that even the world it­self could not con­tain the books that should be writ­ten. Amen.

Апостол
1John.1:1 That which was from the be­gin­ning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have han­dled, of the Word of life;
1John.1:2 (For the life was man­i­fested, and we have seen it, and bear wit­ness, and shew unto you that eter­nal life, which was with the Fa­ther, and was man­i­fested unto us;)
1John.1:3 That which we have seen and heard de­clare we unto you, that ye also may have fel­low­ship with us: and truly our fel­low­ship is with the Fa­ther, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
1John.1:4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
1John.1:5 This then is the mes­sage which we have heard of him, and de­clare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no dark­ness at all.
1John.1:6 If we say that we have fel­low­ship with him, and walk in dark­ness, we lie, and do not the truth:
1John.1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fel­low­ship one with an­other, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

John.19:27 Then saith he to the dis­ci­ple, Be­hold thy mother! And from that hour that dis­ci­ple took her unto his own home.
John.21:24 This is the dis­ci­ple which tes­ti­fi­eth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his tes­ti­mony is true.
John.21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be writ­ten every one, I sup­pose that even the world it­self could not con­tain the books that should be writ­ten. Amen.
