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.”

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

τὴν ψυχήν μου & θήσω

See how you translated a similar phrase in 10:11.
13:37 Peter claimed to be ready to die for Jesus, yet his denials are well known (18:15-18, 25-27; see also Matt 26:32-34; Mark 14:27-30; Luke 22:31-34). Although Peter’s verve and devotion failed, he was restored (John 21:15-19).
