John 21:2-25 (NRSV)
John,
Apostle and Evangelist Peter turned and saw the disciple whom
Jesus loved following them; he was the one who had reclined next to Jesus
at the supper and had said, "Lord, who is it that is going to betray
you?" When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "Lord, what about him?"
Jesus said to him, "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what
is that to you? Follow me!" So the rumor spread in the community 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?" This is the disciple who is testifying to these things
and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true. But there are
also many other things that Jesus did; if every one of them were written
down, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would
be written.
