John 21:18–24
18 “Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go.”
19 Now this He said, asignifying by bwhat kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He * said to him, “cFollow Me!”
20 Peter, turning around, * saw the adisciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had bleaned back on His bosom at the supper and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays You?”
21 So Peter seeing him * said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?”
22 Jesus * said to him, “If I want him to remain auntil I come, what is that to you? You bfollow Me!”
23 Therefore this saying went out among athe 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 buntil I come, what is that to you?”
24 This is the disciple who ais testifying to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

| * | A star (*) is used to mark verbs that are historical presents in the Greek which have been translated with an English past tense in order to conform to modern usage. The translators recognized that in some contexts the present tense seems more unexpected and unjustified to the English reader than a past tense would have been. But Greek authors frequently used the present tense for the sake of heightened vividness, thereby transporting their readers in imagination to the actual scene at the time of occurence. However, the translators felt that it would be wise to change these historical presents to English past tenses. |
