OET (OET-LV) The Petros is_saying to_him:
master, because/for_ why _reason I_am_ not _being_able to_follow after_you now?
I_will_be_laying down the life of_me for you.

OET (OET-RV) Peter asked again, “Why can’t I follow after you now? I’m prepared to give my life for you.”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 13:36–38: Jesus predicted that Peter would deny him

In this section Peter said that he would even die for Jesus. However, Jesus said that before morning Peter would deny knowing him three times.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Jesus predicted that one of his disciples would deny him

Peter says that he could die for Jesus, but Jesus says that he will deny him

Jesus knew that Peter would say that he did not know him

13:37a

“Lord,” said Peter, “why can’t I follow You now?

Lord: There is a textual issue here.

  1. Most Greek manuscripts include the word Lord. For example:

    Lord, why can’t I follow you now? (NIV) (BSB, NASB, ESV, RSV, NRSV, NET, GW, NLT, NIV, CEV, GNT, NCV, KJV, REB)

  2. Some Greek manuscripts do not include the word Lord. For example:

    Why can I not follow you now? (NJB) (NJB)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1) along with nearly all English translations. Here is another way to translate this sentence:

But why can’t I come now, Lord? (NLT)

said Peter: Here Simon Peter is referred to as just Peter. Peter asked for more information. Here is another way to introduce the question:

Peter asked (NIV)

why can’t I follow You now?: This question shows that Peter did not understand that Jesus would die to pay for the world’s sins. The question indicates that Peter thought that he should be able to go with him.

13:37b

I will lay down my life for You.”

I will lay down my life for You: This clause means “I will die for you.” It indicates that Peter was willing to die for Jesus. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

I am ready to die for you! (GNT)

I am willing to die for your benefit.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

λέγει

˓is˒_saying

Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

τὴν ψυχήν μου & θήσω

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγει αὐτῷ Ὁ Πέτρος Κύριε διά τί οὒ δύναμαι σοί ἀκολουθῆσαι ἄρτι τήν ψυχήν μού ὑπέρ σοῦ Θήσω)

OET (OET-LV) The Petros is_saying to_him:
master, because/for_ why _reason I_am_ not _being_able to_follow after_you now?
I_will_be_laying down the life of_me for you.

OET (OET-RV) Peter asked again, “Why can’t I follow after you now? I’m prepared to give my life for you.”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
