John 21:20-22

New Testament for Everyone

The beloved disciple

²⁰ Peter turned and saw, following them, the disciple that Jesus loved. This was the disciple who had leaned back against Jesus’ chest at the supper, and had asked, “Master, who is it that’s going to betray you?”

²¹ “Master,” said Peter to Jesus, seeing him there, “what about him?”

²² “If it’s my intention,” replied Jesus, “that he should remain here until I come, what’s that got to do with you? You must follow me!”
