Juan 21:20

Juan 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 ) .

Juan 21:20 In-Context

18 De cierto, de cierto te digo: Cuando eras más joven, te ceñías, e ibas donde querías; mas cuando ya fueres viejo, extenderás tus manos, y te ceñirá otro, y te pasará donde no querrías.

19 Y esto dijo, señalando con qué muerte había de clarificar a Dios. Y dicho esto, le dice: Sígueme.

20 Volviéndose Pedro, ve a aquel discípulo al cual amaba Jesús, que les seguía, el que también se había recostado a su pecho en la cena, y le había dicho: Señor, ¿quién es el que te ha de entregar?

21 Así que cuando Pedro vio a éste, dice a Jesús: Señor, ¿y éste, qué?

22 Le dice Jesús: Si quiero que él quede hasta que yo venga, ¿qué a ti? Sígueme tú.
