John 21 — Context

21

So Peter seeing him *said to Jesus, "Lord, and what about this man?"

22

Jesus *said to him, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!"

23

Therefore this saying went out among the brethren that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?"

24

This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

25

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they *were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself *would not contain the books that *would be written.
