Scripture Insights

John 21: 20-25

1. Its Pedestrian Approach

2. Its Precise Articulation

3. Its Permanent Authority

Jesus and the Beloved Apostle
Joh 21:20 Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, the one who also had leaned back against him during the supper and had said, “Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?”
Joh 21:21 When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”
Joh 21:22 Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!”
Joh 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?”
Joh 21:24 This is the disciple who is bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and we know that his testimony is true.
Joh 21:25 Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.
