Jesus tells Peter to Follow Him even when He knows in a short time He will no longer be with him 19b
He helps Peter focus on his own life by telling him not to worry about John but to follow Him 22
Jesus did so much more than is written 25

That wraps the Gospel of John. My objective in going through the gospel this time was just to capture the actions and words of Jesus. It has drawn me closer to Him and challenged me to be more like Him. Next time I’d like to capture the actions and the words of the disciples as they follow Him.
