This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
36. ποῦ ὑπάγεις; The affectionate Apostle is absorbed by the words, ‘Whither I go, ye cannot come,’ and he lets all the rest pass. His Lord is going away, out of his reach; he must know the meaning of that. The Lord’s reply alludes probably not merely to the Apostle’s death, but also to the manner of it: comp. Joh 21:18-19. But his hour has not yet come; he has a great mission to fulfil first (Mat 16:18). The beautiful story of the Domine, quo vadis? should be remembered in connexion with this verse. See Introduction to the Epistles of S. Peter, p. 56.
