John 21:22-25 English Standard Version (ESV)

22. Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!”

23. So the saying spread abroad among the brothers 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 who is bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

25. Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.
