João 21:20 Meaning and Commentary

John 21:20

Then Peter turning about
After he was risen, and was following Christ:

seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following
also; by whom is designed John the Evangelist, and writer of this Gospel; who hearing Christ bid Peter follow him, rose up likewise, and went after him, in token of his willingness to serve him, and suffer for him too:

which also leaned on his breast at supper;
at the "paschal supper", as the Persic version here reads it: "and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?" This disciple had a peculiar share in the love of Christ, as man, and was admitted to great nearness and freedom with him, signified by his leaning on his breast; and who being so near his person, and allowed to use a liberty with him, everyone did not take, at the motion of Peter, asked our Lord at supper, who the person was he meant that should betray him; all this is said as descriptive of the disciple here spoken of, which leaves it without any doubt, that it was the Apostle John; and who, from ( John 21:2 ) appears to be one of this company, and is further confirmed at ( John 21:24 ) .

João 21:20 In-Context

18 Em verdade, em verdade te digo que, quando eras mais moço, te cingias a ti mesmo, e andavas por onde querias; mas, quando fores velho, estenderás as mãos e outro te cingirá, e te levará para onde tu não queres.

19 Ora, isto ele disse, significando com que morte havia Pedro de glorificar a Deus. E, havendo dito isto, ordenou-lhe: Segue-me.

20 E Pedro, virando-se, viu que o seguia aquele discípulo a quem Jesus amava, o mesmo que na ceia se recostara sobre o peito de Jesus e perguntara: Senhor, quem é o que te trai?

21 Ora, vendo Pedro a este, perguntou a Jesus: Senhor, e deste que será?

22 Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Se eu quiser que ele fique até que eu venha, que tens tu com isso? Segue-me tu.
