John 21:23

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 ?

Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?”

Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die : yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
