John 21:21-25

English Standard Version

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 ^(A)until ^(B)I come, what is that to you? ^(C)You follow me!” ²³ So the saying spread abroad among ^(D)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 ^(E)who is bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and ^(F)we know ^(G)that his testimony is true.

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