Peter turned and saw John and asked ‘what about him?’ And Jesus makes a statement that tells us He knows each of us and where we are and when and how our lives will end.
Please read John 21:20-22
20 Peter turned and saw the [e]disciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had leaned back on His chest at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is it that is going to betray You?” 21 So when Peter saw him, he asked Jesus, “Lord, and what about this [f]man [what is in his future]?” 22 Jesus said to him, “If I want him to stay alive until I come [again], what is that to you? You follow Me!”
