The Many Lives of the Apostle John

“Dad! Do you know who this is?” Robby shouted. “He’s the apostle, John.”
“The apostle John? That’s absurd! He would have to be two thousand years old. Nobody has ever lived that long!”
“Actually, dad, that’s not true. Enoch never died and neither did the prophet, Elijah. Both were taken to heaven by God.”
“Robby, that’s ridiculous. Where did you hear that?”
John answered first, “It’s in Genesis, chapter 5, verse 24 for Enoch and the reference to Elijah is in second Kings, chapter 2, verse 11.”
“And these men never died?”
“I didn’t say that, Ike. I said those are the Bible references for what Rob just said.”
“I suppose there is a reference in the Bible about you not dying, too?”
“It’s at the end of John’s gospel, dad. I think it’s in chapter 20.”
“Actually it’s chapter 21, verse 22, Rob,” John corrected. “Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?’ He was referring to His disciple, John.”
