"When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "Lord, what about him?"Jesus said to him, "What if I want him to remain until I come? What concern is it of yours? You follow me."
We always want to take care of those who we love. Like a good mother that wants all her children succeed. But we presume that a different attitude shows Peter here asking Jesus about John's future. I am settled and happy, I was promised to be a shepherd of the Church, but what about others like John with whom I witnessed the empty tomb and he believed the first. By chance, wouldn't they be more fortunate then me? We need to follow Him without turning back otherwise we turn in a pillar of salt like Lot's wife.
