In John 21, Jesus tells Peter how he’s going to die, to which Peter responds, “Well what about John?” I’m giving you the JIV translation (Jeremy International Version). Then Jesus says, “That’s none of your bee’s wax!” (JIV).
When it comes down to it, we only need to know what God’s will is for one life ... our own (Romans 14:10-12). It’s God alone we’ll have to answer to for our actions.
