John 21:20-23

Jesus and the Beloved Apostle

²⁰ Peter turned and saw _h the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, _i the one who had been reclining at table close to him and had said, "Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?" ²¹ When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?" ²² Jesus said to him, "If it is my will that he remain _j until _k I come, what is that to you? _l You follow me!" ²³ So the saying spread abroad among _m the brothers ₁ that this disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not to die, but, "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?"
