"Master, you have told me about myself; now tell what this man shall do."
But Jesus said to Peter:
"If I choose that he shall wait until I come back to earth, what has that to do with you? Do you follow me, as I said."
John, the disciple whom Jesus loved, lived a long time after that day. When all the rest of the twelve disciples of Jesus had died—nearly all of them were slain by enemies of Christ—John was still living. And from these words of Jesus many thought that John would not die. But Jesus did not say that John would not die. He only said that if he chose to let John live until he, Jesus, came again, it was not Peter's matter, but the Lord's.
He rose into the air, higher and higher, until a cloud covered him from their sight, and Jesus the Lord of glory was seen no more.
