20 Peter turned and saw ^hthe disciple whom Jesus loved following them, ⁱthe one who also had leaned back against him during the supper and had said, “Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?” 21 When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?” 22 Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remain ^juntil ^kI come, what is that to you? ^lYou follow me!” 23 So the saying spread abroad among ^mthe brothers¹ that this disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not to die, but, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?”

24 This is the disciple ⁿwho is bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and ^owe know ^pthat his testimony is true.
