                                                Jesus had prophesied to Peter, “Very truly I te
                                               you, when you were younger you dreed yourself
                                               and went where you wanted; but when you are old
                                               you wi stretch out your hands, and someone else
                                               wi dre you and lead you where you do not want
                                               to go.” Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death
                                                      by which Peter would glorify God.
