Gospel — John 21:20 - 25

LEB translation

21:20 Peter and the Other Disciple Jesus Loved Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them (who also leaned back on his chest at the dinner and said, “Lord, who is the one betraying you?”)
21:21 So when he saw this one, Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, but what about this one?”
21:22 Jesus said to him, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!”
21:23 So this saying went out to the brothers that that disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?”
21:24 A Concluding Word of Testimony This is the disciple who is testifying about these things, and who has written down these things. And we know that his testimony is true.
21:25 Now there are also many other things that Jesus did, which—if they were written down one after the other—I suppose not even the world itself could contain the books that would be written.
