John 21:22-24

Living Bible

²² Jesus replied, “If I want him to live^[a] until I return, what is that to you? You follow me.”

²³ So the rumor spread among the brotherhood that that disciple wouldn’t die! But that isn’t what Jesus said at all! He only said, “If I want him to live until I come, what is that to you?”

²⁴ I am that disciple! I saw these events and have recorded them here. And we all know that my account of these things is accurate.
