John 21:23

ἐξῆλθεν οὖν ὁ λόγος οὗτος εἰς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ὅτι ὁ μαθητὴς ἐκεῖνος οὐκ ἀποθνῄσκει καὶ οὐκ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι οὐκ ἀποθνῄσκει· ἀλλ' Ἐὰν αὐτὸν θέλω μένειν ἕως ἔρχομαι τί πρὸς σέ
Then went abroad this saying among the brethren, that that disciple not should die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
