John 21:20-25

English Standard Version

Jesus and the Beloved Apostle

²⁰ Peter turned and saw ^(A)the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, ^(B)the one who also had leaned back against him during the supper 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 ^(C)until ^(D)I come, what is that to you? ^(E)You follow me!” ²³ So the saying spread abroad among ^(F)the brothers^[a] 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?”

²⁴ This is the disciple ^(G)who is bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and ^(H)we know ^(I)that his testimony is true.

²⁵ Now ^(J)there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that ^(K)the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.
