Doctrine and Covenants D&C 7:4
"And for this cause the Lord said unto Peter: If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?"
New Testament John 21:22
"Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me."

Shared words: If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee

Thirteen words identical, in the same speaker's mouth and to the same named hearer. The question stands at three frozen verses: these two and John 21:23, where it is repeated in a correction of a rumour. The Johannine verse follows the question with 'follow thou me'; the revelation follows it with an explanation of the two desires the Gospel does not supply (D&C 7:5). The revelation states that the Lord said the words and names Peter as the hearer, though it names no book. Ruled at the 2026-08-10 editorial review: stays wiki — the revelation is a parallel account of the scene, not a citation of a named text.
