An Old Testament Parallel
John 21:21-23
Peter seeing him said to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?…


I cannot help seeing a latent resemblance between this place and the well-known passage at the end of Daniel's prophecy. "Then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? And He said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end." — "Go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days." (Daniel 12:8, 9, 13).

(Bp. Ryle.)
