18 aMost assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.”
19 This He spoke, signifying aby what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, b“Follow Me.”
The Beloved Disciple and His Book
20 Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple awhom Jesus loved following, bwho also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays You?”
21 Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “But Lord, what about this man?”
23 Then this saying went out among the brethren that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, “If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you?”
24 This is the disciple who atestifies of these things, and wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true.
25 aAnd there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, bI suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen.
