• I apprehend the meaning of the Lord’s words to be that, in his ministry John went on to the end — to the coming of Christ personally to judge the earth. ...The destruction of Jerusalem ended the history of the assembly as thus being an earthly center, and also ended the Jewish system connected with the law and promises. With this Peter’s special ministry closes, and what is left is the heavenly assembly, of which Paul is the minister. (“Restoration and a New Commission” by W.T.P. Wolston)
• We know at any rate that to John it was given to see the Son of Man judging the churches, and to have visions not only of God's providential dealings with the world, whether Jews or Gentiles, but of the Lord's return in judgment of the apostate powers of the earth and of the man of sin, in order to the establishment of the long predicted kingdom of God and the times of the restitution of all things. (“Notes on John 21:20-25” by W. Kelly)
• The Lord’s answer announces the portion and ministry of John, but, as it appears to me, in connection with the earth. (“John 21” by J.N. Darby)
• And not only did John live a much longer time than the others (when the hopes of Israel were closed, on to the coming of the judgment executed on the people), but his ministry extends on to the return of the Savior. (“John 21”)
• The gracious Lord, if He reproved in His own gentleness the prying spirit of His servant, did furnish ample matter for thought in the riddle He sets before Peter. (“John 21” by W. Kelly)
• We know, at any rate, that to John it was given to see the Son of Man judging the churches, and to have visions not only of God’s providential dealings with the world whether Jews or Gentiles, but of the Lord’s return in judgment of the apostate powers of the earth. (“John 21” by W. Kelly)
