- તેથી એ વાત ભાઈઓમાં ફેલાઇ ગઈ કે તે શિષ્ય મરવાનો નથી. પણ ઈસુએ તેને એમ કહ્યું ન હતું કે, તે મરશે નહિ; પણ એમ કે, હું આવું ત્યાં સુધી તે રહે એવી મારી ઇચ્છા હોય, તો તેમાં તારે શું?
- हिन्दी — यूहन्ना २१:२३
- इसलिए भाइयों में यह बात फैल गई, कि वह चेला न मरेगा; तो भी यीशु ने उससे यह नहीं कहा, कि वह न मरेगा, परन्तु यह कि “यदि मैं चाहूँ कि वह मेरे आने तक ठहरा रहे, तो तुझे इससे क्या?”
