Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
19 Now this He said signifying by what kind[a] of death he will glorify God. And having said this, He says to him, “Be following Me!”
Peter Asks Jesus About John
20 Peter, having turned around, sees the disciple[b] following them whom Jesus was loving— the one who also leaned back on His chest during dinner and said, “Lord, who is the one handing You over?” 21 So Peter, having looked-at this one, says to Jesus, “Lord, and what of this one? 22 Jesus says to him, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is it to you? You be following Me!” 23 Therefore this statement went out to the brothers, that “that disciple does not die”. But Jesus did not say to him that he does not die, but “If I want him to remain until I come, what is it to you?”
John Concludes The Book
24 This[c] one is the disciple testifying about these things, and[d] the one having written these things, and we know that his testimony is true.
