Jesus’ Command to Follow Him
20 Peter, turning around, *saw the (A)disciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had (B)leaned back on His bosom at the supper and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays You?” 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 (C)until I come, what is that to you? You (D)follow Me!” 23 Therefore this saying went out among (E)the brothers that this 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?”

American Standard Version
20 Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; who also leaned back on his breast at the supper, and said, Lord, who is he that [a]betrayeth thee? 21 Peter therefore seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, [b]and what shall this man do? 22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. 23 This saying therefore went forth among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, that he should not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
