When you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.

John 21:18

Psalm 28 (English Standard Version)

5 Because they do not regard the works of the Lord
or the work of his hands,
he will tear them down and build them up no more.
6 Blessed be the Lord!
For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;
in him my heart trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to him.
8 The Lord is the strength of his people;
he is the saving refuge of his anointed.
9 Oh, save your people and bless your heritage!
Be their shepherd and carry them forever.

John 21 (English Standard Version)

15 When they had finished breakfast, 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 a second time,
“Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him,
“Tend my sheep.”
17 He said to him the third time,
“Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time,
“Do you love me?”
and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him,
“Feed my sheep.
18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.”
19 (This he said to show by what kind of death he was to glorify God.) And after saying this he said to him,
“Follow me.”
20 Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, the one who had been reclining at table close to him and had said, “Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?”
21 When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”

John 21 (Free Bible Version)

15 After breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?”
“Yes, Lord,” he replied, “you know I love you.”
16 “Take care of my lambs,” Jesus told him. “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” he asked for the second time.
“Yes, Lord,” he answered, “you know I love you.”
17 “Look after my sheep,” Jesus said to him. “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” he asked a third time.
Peter was saddened that Jesus had asked him for the third time if he loved him. “Lord, you know everything. You know I love you,” Peter told him.
“Take care of my sheep,” said Jesus.
18 “I tell you the truth,” said Jesus, “when you were young, you dressed yourself and went wherever you wanted. But when you're old, you'll hold out your hands and someone will dress you and take you where you don't want to go.”
19 Jesus said this to explain the kind of death by which he would glorify God. Then he said to Peter, “Follow me.”
20 As Peter turned round, he saw the disciple Jesus loved following them, the one who had leaned over to Jesus during the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”
21 Peter asked Jesus, “What about him, Lord?”
