18	“Truly I tell you, when you were younger, you would tie your belt and walk wherever you wanted. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will tie you and carry you where you don’t want to go.”	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.”	Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”
19	He said this to indicate by what kind of death Peter would glorify God. After saying this, he told him, “Follow me.”	(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.”	Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!”
