John 21:23 in Context — John 21
21 Así que Pedro vió á éste, dice á Jesús: Señor, ¿y éste, qué?
22 Dícele Jesús: Si quiero que él quede hasta que yo venga, ¿qué á tí? Sígueme tú.
23 Salió entonces este dicho entre los hermanos, que aquel discípulo no había de morir. Mas Jesús no le dijo, No morirá; sino: Si quiero que él quede hasta que yo venga ¿qué á ti?
24 Este es aquel discípulo que da testimonio de estas cosas, y escribió estas cosas: y sabemos que su testimonio es verdadero.
25 Y hay también otras muchas cosas que hizo Jesús, que si se escribiesen cada una por sí, ni aun en el mundo pienso que cabrían los libros que se habrían de escribir. Amén.
