Jesus told Peter he would suffer the same death he did.

Question

Where in the King James Bible does it read in full or in part where Peter stated, " I'm not worthy to suffer the same crucifixion as Christ?"

It don't, But he did.

It don't, but he did.

The only references we have on Peter's end of life is in John 21:18, 19: Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me."

And, 2 Peter 1:14: "Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me."

Church tradition claims that Peter was crucified upside down as he didn't want his crucifixion to resemble the Lord's. This thought developed from Jesus' Words to Him about his hands (arms) being stretched out, but that seems a long stretch of the imagination. He was crucified in Rome & he knew that time was fast approaching but we get no more details in the Bible. You may have seen that quote in some extra-biblical source.
