John 21:22-24

New Century Version

²² Jesus answered, “If I want him to live until I come back, that is not your business. You follow me.”

²³ So a story spread among the followers that this one would not die. But Jesus did not say he would not die. He only said, “If I want him to live until I come back, that is not your business.”

²⁴ That follower is the one who is telling these things and who has now written them down. We know that what he says is true.
