John 21:22-24
New Catholic Bible
22 Jesus replied, “If it should be my will that he remain until I come, how does that concern you? Follow me!”
23 The saying then spread among the brethren that this disciple would not die. However, Jesus had not said to Peter, “He will not die,” but, “If it should be my will that he remain until I come, how does that concern you?”
24 Signature of the Redactors.[a] This is the disciple who testifies to these things and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true.

- John 21:24 The faith of believers is a grace, but it goes back in history to those who were witnesses: those who saw the deeds and understood their meaning. Nonetheless, the life of Jesus goes beyond everything that can be written or said about him, even in a Gospel. Opening or closing the sacred writing, we are brought back to the encounter with Christ himself.
