John 21:20-25

20

PeterG4074 turnedG1994 and sawG991 theG3588 discipleG3101 whomG3739 JesusG2424 lovedG25 followingG190 them. He was the one whoG3739 had leaned backG377 against Jesus1 atG1722 theG3588 supperG1173 to askG2036, “LordG2962, whoG5101 is going toG1510G3588 betrayG3860 YouG4771?” 21When Peter sawG3708 himG3778, he askedG3004G3588G2424, “LordG2962, what aboutG5101 him?”

22

JesusG2424 answeredG3004G846, “IfG1437 I wantG2309 himG846 to remainG3306 untilG2193 I returnG2064, whatG5101 is that toG4314 youG4771? YouG4771 followG190 MeG1473!” 23Because ofG3767 thisG3778, theG3588 rumorG3056 spreadG1831 amongG1519 theG3588 brothersG80 thatG3754 thisG1565 discipleG3101 would notG3756 dieG599. HoweverG1161, JesusG2424 did not sayG3756G2036G846 thatG3754 he would not dieG3756G599, but onlyG235, “IfG1437 I wantG2309 himG846 to remainG3306 untilG2193 I returnG2064, whatG5101 is that toG4314 youG4771?”

24ThisG3778 isG1510 theG3588 discipleG3101 whoG3588 testifiesG3140 toG4012 these thingsG3778 andG2532 whoG3588 has writtenG1125 them down. AndG2532 we knowG1492 thatG3754 hisG846 testimonyG3141 isG1510 trueG227.

25

There areG1510 manyG4183 more thingsG243G2532 thatG3739 JesusG2424 didG4160. IfG1437 all of themG2596G1520 were written downG1125, I suppose thatG3633 not evenG3761 theG3588 worldG2889 itselfG846 would have spaceG5562 for theG3588 booksG975 that would be writtenG1125.
