New American Standard Bible (NASB)

John 21
²³ Therefore this saying went out among the brethren that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?"
²⁴ This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.
²⁵ And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they *were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself *would not contain the books that *would be written.
Acts 1
¹ The first account I composed, Theophilus, about all that Jesus began to do and teach,
² until the day when He was taken up to heaven, after He had by the Holy Spirit given orders to the apostles whom He had chosen.
³ To these He also presented Himself alive after His suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God.
⁴ Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, "Which," He said, "you heard of from Me;
⁵ for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
⁶ So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, "Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
⁷ He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority;
⁸ but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth."
