21:18-19 By what death did Peter die that Jesus is predicting here?
Jesus is predicting here that Peter would die a martyr, bound and forcibly taken to his death. He would die with his hands outstretched. Tradition says that he lived another thirty years approximately, and was then crucified.
Peter lived all those years anticipating the death before him which Jesus had predicted (CP 2Pe 1:12-15).
