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 En verdad, en verdad te digo: cuando eras más joven te vestías y andabas por donde querías; pero cuando seas viejo extenderás las manos y otro te vestirá, y te llevará adonde no quieras.
19 Esto dijo, dando a entender la clase de muerte con que Pedro glorificaría a Dios. Y habiendo dicho esto, le dijo<***>: Sígueme.
20 Pedro, volviéndose, vio<***> que les seguía el discípulo a quien Jesús amaba, el que en la cena se había recostado sobre el pecho de Jesús y había dicho: Señor, ¿quién es el que te va a entregar?
21 Entonces Pedro, al verlo, dijo<***> a Jesús: Señor, ¿y éste, qué?
22 Jesús le dijo<***>: Si yo quiero que él se quede hasta que yo venga, ¿a ti, qué? Tú, sígueme.
