John 21:22 in Context — John 21

20 Pierre, s’étant retourné, vit venir après eux le disciple que Jésus aimait, celui qui, pendant le souper, s’était penché sur la poitrine de Jésus, et avait dit: Seigneur, qui est celui qui te livre?

21 En le voyant, Pierre dit à Jésus: Et celui-ci, Seigneur, que lui arrivera-t-il?

22 Jésus lui dit: Si je veux qu’il demeure jusqu’à ce que je vienne, que t’importe? Toi, suis-moi.

23 Là-dessus, le bruit courut parmi les frères que ce disciple ne mourrait point. Cependant Jésus n’avait pas dit à Pierre qu’il ne mourrait point; mais: Si je veux qu’il demeure jusqu’à ce que je vienne, que t’importe?

24 C’est ce disciple qui rend témoignage de ces choses, et qui les a écrites. Et nous savons que son témoignage est vrai.
