Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle,
even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
2 Peter 1:14
Tradition has it that Peter, in his old age, was crucified upside down in Rome during the persecution of Nero. (Peter requested to be crucified upside down because he felt he was unworthy to be crucified the same way as his Lord).

He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
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.
he should glorify God.
And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
John 21:17-19
