104 EARLY WISDOM GOSPELS
But when you grow old
you will stretch out your hands
and another will fasten your belt
and take you where you do not wish to go."^80
This he said, signifying by what death he would glorify god.
After he said this, he told him,
"Follow me."THE AUTHOR REVEALED
Kefa turned and saw the student whom Yeshua loved following them, the one
who also lay next to his chest at the supper and who had said, "Who is betray-
ing you?"
When Kefa saw him, he said to Yeshua, "Lord, what about him?"
Yeshua said to Kefa,
"If I want him to stay until I come,
what is that to you?
Follow me."
So word went out to the brothers that the student would not die. But
Yeshua did not tell Kefa that the student would not die, but rather,
"If I want him to stay until I come,
what is that to you?"
This is the student who testifies to these things and who has written these
things, and we know that his testimony is true.
And there are many other things that Yeshua did. If they were written down
one by one, I think the world itself would not have room to hold the books
that would be written.
- This passage suggests Peter's later crucifixion in Rome, and while there is no information
on how Peter got to Rome, there is archeological evidence of a shrine to Peter in an ancient
cemetery under the basilica of Saint Peter in Rome.
