Joh 21:19 | JFB | STEP | 18-19. When thou wast young-- embracing the whole period of life to the verge of old age. thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest-- wast thine own master. when ... old thou shalt stretch forth thine hands-- to be bound for execution, though not necessarily meaning on a cross. There is no reason, however, to doubt the very early tradition that Peter's death was by crucifixion.

‏ John 21:19

18-19. When thou wast young--embracing the whole period of life to the verge of old age.

thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest--wast thine own master.

when ... old thou shalt stretch forth thine hands--to be bound for execution, though not necessarily meaning on a cross. There is no reason, however, to doubt the very early tradition that Peter's death was by crucifixion.
