(Now he said this to indicate clearly what kind of death he was going to die.)

(This happened to fulfill the word Jesus had spoken when he indicated what kind of death he was going to die.)

I tell you the solemn truth, if anyone obeys my teaching, he will never see death.”

(Now Jesus had been talking about his death, but they thought he had been talking about real sleep.)

(Now Jesus said this to indicate clearly by what kind of death Peter was going to glorify God.) After he said this, Jesus told Peter, “Follow me.”

“I tell you the solemn truth, the one who hears my message and believes the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, but has crossed over from death to life.

Then the Judeans responded, “Now we know you’re possessed by a demon! Both Abraham and the prophets died, and yet you say, ‘If anyone obeys my teaching, he will never experience death.’

When Jesus heard this, he said, “This sickness will not lead to death, but to God’s glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
