Oct 6, 2006 · When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?” Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!” (John 21:18-22) Jesus’ blunt words—“None of your business, follow me”—are sweet to my ears. They are liberating from the depressing bondage of fatal comparing.

Jan 4, 2022 · Jesus asked Peter three times,“Do you love me?” as recorded in John 21:15–17. This occurred when Jesus was having breakfast with His disciples soon after His resurrection. Jesus used this opportunity to encourage and exhort Peter about his upcoming responsibilities and even to prophesy the manner in which Peter will die.
Jesus had predicted Peter's denials after Peter had said he was willing to die with him (13:37-38). Jesus told him, "Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later" (13:36). Here now is the call to follow. After Peter professes his obedient love, Jesus spells out the cost of that love.
Here, after a similar miracle (John 21:4–8), Jesus will again restore Peter's calling as an apostle. In the prior verse, Jesus used a descriptive parallel. In youth, Peter could dress himself and walk where he chose, but in death he would be dressed and led by others, with outstretched hands.

In that sense, they will "follow afterward" in the path Jesus is about to walk. This includes Peter, who tradition indicates was crucified upside-down, by his own request, as he felt unworthy to die in the same way as Jesus. Peter's eventual fate is even more amazing consider the prediction Jesus is about to give.
