John 21:21-24

Moffatt(i) 21 So, on catching sight of him, Peter said to Jesus, "And what about him, Lord?" 22 Jesus replied, "If I choose that he should survive till I come back, what does that matter to you? Follow me yourself." 23 This started the report among the brotherhood that the said disciple was not to die. Jesus, however, did not say he was not to die; what he said was, "If I choose that he should survive till I come back, what does that matter to you?" 24 This was the disciple who bears testimony to these facts and who wrote them down; his testimony, we know, is true.
