John 21:19–25 from the 1845 illustrated Book of Common Prayer. The description of the "beloved disciple's" (normally assumed to be John the Apostle) fate is presented as an aside to Peter.

There is a widespread scholarly view that the Gospel of John can be broken into four parts: a prologue, (John 1:–1:18), the Book of Signs (1:19 to 12:50), the Book of Glory (or Exaltation) (13:1 to 20:31) and an epilogue (chapter 21).
