John 21:22

21:22 Jesus replied, 1  “If I want him to live 2  until I come back, 3  what concern is that of yours? You follow me!”

1 tn Grk “Jesus said to him.”

2 tn Grk “to stay” or “to remain”; but since longevity is the issue in the context, “to live” conveys the idea more clearly.

3 tn The word “back” is supplied to clarify the meaning.
