John 21:23-24 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

23. Because of what Jesus said, a false report spread among the believers. The story was told that the disciple Jesus loved wouldn't die. But Jesus did not say he would not die. He only said, "Suppose I want him to remain alive until I return. What does that matter to you?"

24. This is the disciple who gives witness to these things. He also wrote them down. We know that his witness is true.
