Peter: Lord, where are you going?
Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” He answered, “Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow later.”
Inability now; later following through martyrdom.
Greek
Λέγει αὐτῷ Σίμων Πέτρος· Κύριε, ποῦ ὑπάγεις; ἀπεκρίθη· Ὅπου ὑπάγω οὐ δύνασαί μοι νῦν ἀκολουθῆσαι, ἀκολουθήσεις δὲ ὕστερον.
Νῦν ἀδυναμία, ὕστερον ἀκολουθία διὰ τοῦ μαρτυρίου.
