Numbers 28:16-25 and John 21:20-25 (New Living Translation)

NUMBERS 28:16-25
OFFERINGS FOR THE PASSOVER
16  “On the fourteenth day of the first month, you must celebrate the Lord’s Passover.
17  On the following day—the fifteenth day of the month—a joyous, seven-day festival will begin, but no bread made with yeast may be eaten.
18  The first day of the festival will be an official day for holy assembly, and no ordinary work may be done on that day.
19  As a special gift you must present a burnt offering to the Lord—two young bulls, one ram, and seven one-year-old male lambs, all with no defects.
20  These will be accompanied by grain offerings of choice flour moistened with olive oil—six quarts with each bull, four quarts with the ram,
21  and two quarts with each of the seven lambs.
22  You must also offer a male goat as a sin offering to purify yourselves and make yourselves right with the Lord.
23  Present these offerings in addition to your regular morning burnt offering.
24  On each of the seven days of the festival, this is how you must prepare the food offering that is presented as a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. These will be offered in addition to the regular burnt offerings and liquid offerings.
25  The seventh day of the festival will be another official day for holy assembly, and no ordinary work may be done on that day.

JOHN 21:20-25
JESUS AND THE OTHER DISCIPLE
20  Peter turned around and saw behind them the disciple Jesus loved—the one who had leaned over to Jesus during supper and asked, “Lord, who will betray you?”
21  Peter asked Jesus, “What about him, Lord?”
22  Jesus replied, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? As for you, follow me.”
23  So the rumor spread among the community of believers that this disciple wouldn’t die. But that isn’t what Jesus said at all. He only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?”
24  This disciple is the one who testifies to these events and has recorded them here. And we know that his account of these things is accurate.
25  Jesus also did many other things. If they were all written down, I suppose the whole world could not contain the books that would be written.
