There is a curious passage in John 21:22-23, where Jesus says to Peter thatif he wills thatthe 'disciple whom Jesus loved' (commonly assumed to be John)tarry until Jesus comes, what is that to Peter?This was a rebuke to Peter, not a command to the beloved disciple, nor
a prophecy that the beloved disciple would never die or be spared a martyr's death.
The next verse says
that
this saying went abroad, misinterpreted that the disciple should not die, yet
Jesus said not this, but "If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
"
So, the statement was made to Peter and was about the "Disciple whom Jesus loved," commonly supposed to be the apostle John.

Who was the man who kicked Jesus and Jesus told him you will never die until I come back?
You've got a few details mixed up. He never KICKED Jesus. Jesus said to Peter, speaking about John, "...If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me." He didn't say John WOULD live till Jesus comes, He only asked what business it was of Peter's IF Jesus decided that. The verse is John 21:22.
What disciple doubted that Jesus came back to life?

Who is the disciple that lay his head on Jesus' bosom in John chapter 13 verse 23?
In the fourth gospel, this was the "disciple whom Jesus loved". We do not know who the "disciple whom Jesus loved" was meant to be. Irenaeus identified him as being John, a view that is still held by conservative Christians today, and drew the conclusion that John was the author of this gospel, which had previously been anonymous. This was speculation and, today, most scholars doubt that the author really was John.A consistent theme of John's Gospel is that Peter was always compared unfavourably with the "disciple whom Jesus loved". It seems likely that the real author of John was troubled by the reverence given to Peter, and wanted to portray him as no more than a disciple, so as to get the focus back on Jesus. He did not want to create another personality cult in place of that of Peter. By choosing an anonymous disciple, he ensured that this disciple coud not be worshipped. By calling him the "disciple whom Jesus loved" he made it clear that there was a disciple much greater than Peter, without appearing to disparage Peter. The scene in John 13:23 serves to emphasise the affection that Jesus felt for this disciple. So, the "disciple whom Jesus loved" is likely to have been no more than a literary invention.
