John 21:20-23
New King James Version
The Beloved Disciple and His Book
20 Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple (A)whom Jesus loved following, (B)who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays You?” 21 Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “But Lord, what about this man?”
22 Jesus said to him, “If I [a]will that he remain (C)till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me.”
23 Then this saying went out among the brethren that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, “If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you?”
