Correcting a False Report
20 So Peter turned around and saw the disciple Jesus loved(A) following them, the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is the one that’s going to betray you?” (B) 21 When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about him?”
22 “If I want him to remain until I come,”(C) Jesus answered, “what is that to you? As for you, follow me.”
23 So this rumor[a] spread to the brothers and sisters(D) that this disciple would not die.(E) Yet Jesus did not tell him that he would not die, but, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?”

20 Peter turned around and *saw the (A)disciple whom Jesus loved following them—the one who also had (B)leaned back on His chest at the supper and said, “Lord, who is the one who is betraying You?” 21 So Peter, upon seeing him, *said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?” 22 Jesus *said to him, “If I want him to remain (C)until I come, what is that to you? You (D)follow Me!” 23 Therefore this [a]account went out among (E)the brothers, 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 (F)until I come, what is that to you?”
