OET-LVTherefore 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?

SR-GNTἘξῆλθεν οὖν οὗτος λόγος εἰς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς, ὅτι μαθητὴς ἐκεῖνος οὐκ ἀποθνῄσκει. Οὐκ εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ˚Ἰησοῦς ὅτι Οὐκ ἀποθνῄσκει, ἀλλʼ, “Ἐὰν αὐτὸν θέλω μένειν ἕως ἔρχομαι, τί πρὸς σέ;”

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

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.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

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

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς

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”

not /is/_dying_off & that not ˱he˲_/is/_dying_off

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.
