John 21:22-24

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²² Jesus said to him, ‘If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? Follow me!’ ²³ So the rumour spread in the community^[a] that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, ‘If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?’^[b]

²⁴ This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true.
