OET (OET-LV) Therefore this the statement came_out among the brothers, that the that apprentice/follower is_dying_off.
Not but the Yaʸsous not said to_him that He_is_ not _dying_off, but only:
If I_may_be_wanting him to_be_remaining until I_am_coming, what is_it to you?
OET (OET-RV) As a result of that, a rumour went around the others that that one would not die, but Yeshua never said that. (He only said, “If I want him to stay alive until I come back, what business would it be of yours?”)
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
οὗτος ὁ λόγος
this ¬the statement
Here, this word refers to what the brothers say about John’s future in the next clause. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the following report about John’s future”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐξῆλθεν & οὗτος ὁ λόγος
came_out & this ¬the statement
John uses spread to refer to this word being repeated among the believers. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “this word was repeated”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς
the brothers
Although the term brothers is masculine, John is using the word here in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: “the fellow believers”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὁ μαθητὴς ἐκεῖνος
¬the ¬the disciple that
Here, that disciple refers to the apostle John. If this might confuse your readers, you could state that explicitly, as in the UST.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
οὐκ ἀποθνῄσκει & ὅτι οὐκ ἀποθνῄσκει
not /is/_dying_off & that not ˱he˲_/is/_dying_off
John is using the present tense in order to refer to something that will happen in the future. If this might confuse your readers, you could use the future tense. Alternate translation: “will not die … that he will not die”
Note 6 topic: writing-pronouns
αὐτῷ
˱to˲_him
The pronoun him here refers to Peter. If this might confuse your readers, you could state that explicitly, as in the UST.
Note 7 topic: writing-pronouns
ὅτι οὐκ ἀποθνῄσκει & αὐτὸν
that that not ˱he˲_/is/_dying_off & him
The pronouns he and him here refer to John. If this might confuse your readers, you could state that explicitly, as in the UST.
ἐὰν αὐτὸν θέλω μένειν ἕως ἔρχομαι, τί πρὸς σέ
if him ˱I˲_/may_be/_wanting /to_be/_remaining until ˱I˲_/am/_coming what_‹is_it› to you
See how you translated this sentence in the previous verse.
21:23 Jesus’ words to Peter spread, causing some to conclude that John would not die until Jesus returned in his second coming. Jesus’ rebuke to Peter (21:22) is repeated to answer that rumor. Those among the community of believers who believed this rumor were thus instructed to abandon any speculation about John. According to tradition, John died peacefully in Ephesus at an old age, surrounded by fellow believers.
