John 21:21-22

21:21 So when Peter saw him, ¹  he asked Jesus, “Lord, what about him?” 21:22 Jesus replied, ²  “If I want him to live ³  until I come back, ⁴  what concern is that of yours? You follow me!”

[21:21]  ¹ tn Grk “saw this one.”

[21:22]  ² tn Grk “Jesus said to him.”

[21:22]  ³ tn Grk “to stay” or “to remain”; but since longevity is the issue in the context, “to live” conveys the idea more clearly.

[21:22]  ⁴ tn The word “back” is supplied to clarify the meaning.
