John 21:22-23
_ _ Jesus saith to him, If I will that he tarry fill I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me — From the fact that John alone of the Twelve survived the destruction of Jerusalem, and so witnessed the commencement of that series of events which belongs to “the last days,” many good interpreters think that this is a virtual prediction of fact, and not a mere supposition. But this is very doubtful, and it seems more natural to consider our Lord as intending to give no positive indication of John’s fate at all, but to signify that this was a matter which belonged to the Master of both, who would disclose or conceal it as He thought proper, and that Peter’s part was to mind his own affairs. Accordingly, in “follow thou Me,” the word “thou” is emphatic. Observe the absolute disposal of human life which Christ claims: “If I will that he tarry till I come,” etc. |
John 21:22
If I will that he tarry — Without dying, till I come — To judgment. Certainly he did tarry, till Christ came to destroy Jerusalem. And who can tell, when or how he died? What is that to thee? — Who art to follow me long before. |
