“It is this disciple who wrote these things; his testimony is true ”
A Reading From The Holy Gospel According To John (21, 20-25),
At that time, Jesus had just said to Peter: “Follow me. »Turning around, Peter sees, walking after them, the disciple whom Jesus loved. It was he who, during the meal, leaned on Jesus' breast to say to him: "Lord, who is it who is going to hand you over? Peter, seeing therefore this disciple, said to Jesus: "And him, Lord, what will happen to him? "Jesus answered him:" If I want him to remain until I come, what does it matter to you? You follow me. So there was a rumor among the brethren that this disciple would not die. Now, Jesus did not tell Peter that he would not die, but: “If I want him to stay until I come, what does that matter to you? "
It is this disciple who testifies of these things and who wrote them down, and we know that his testimony is true. There are still many other things that Jesus did; and if each one had to be written, I think the whole world would not be enough to contain the books that one would write.
The Gospel of the Lord.
