SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 21:20–25: Peter asked about the disciple that Jesus loved

Peter wanted to know what would happen to another of the disciples, the one that Jesus loved. However, Jesus told him that he did not have the right to know. The author then said that he was the disciple that Jesus loved. The Gospel closes with the statement that Jesus did too many miracles to record them all in this book.

Here are other possible section headings:

Peter and Jesus talked about the disciple whom Jesus loved

Peter did not need to know about what would happen to the disciple that Jesus loved

Jesus did not answer Peter about the disciple whom he loved

Paragraph 21:20–23

Peter asked Jesus what would happen to the disciple whom Jesus loved. Jesus did not answer Peter’s question, but just encouraged Peter to follow him.

21:21

When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”

When Peter saw that disciple, he asked Jesus, “Lord, what about that man?”
Noticing him, Peter asked Jesus what would happen to him.

When Peter saw him: This clause means “when Peter saw this disciple.” Peter saw the disciple whom Jesus loved, probably John the author of this Gospel.

he asked: This clause here introduces a question that Peter asked Jesus. In some languages you may want to indicate that Peter asked a question, like the BSB. For example:

he asked Jesus (GNT)

Lord: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Lord is the same title of respect as in 21:17 and 20. See how you translated the word in those verses.

what about him?: This question is short for “What will happen to this disciple?” Peter was asking Jesus how John would die. Here are other ways to translate this question:

what about this man? (GNT)

what will happen to him?

what will be his fate?

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 / explicit

Κύριε, οὗτος δὲ τί

Lord this_‹one› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: τοῦτον Οὖν ἰδών ὁ Πέτρος λέγει τῷ Ἰησοῦ Κύριε οὗτος δέ τί)

Peter implies that he wants to know what will happen to John in the future. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Lord, what will happen to this one?]
