John 21:20-23
New American Standard Bible
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?”
