John 21:22 (NIV) Jesus
answered, "If I want him to remain alive until
I return, what is that to you? You must follow
me." 23 Because of this, the rumor spread
among the brothers that this disciple would
not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not
die; he only said, "If I want him to remain alive
until I return, what is that to you?" 24 This is the disciple who testifies to these things
and who wrote them down. We know that his
testimony is true.
