Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?

Da ging eine Rede aus unter den Brüdern: Dieser Jünger stirbt nicht. Und Jesus sprach nicht zu ihm: "Er stirbt nicht", sondern: "So ich will, daß er bleibe, bis ich komme, was geht es dich an?"
Salió entonces este dicho entre los hermanos, que aquel discípulo no había de morir. Mas Jesús no le dijo, No morirá; sino: Si quiero que Él quede hasta que yo venga ¿qué a ti?
Là-dessus, le bruit courut parmi les frères que ce disciple ne mourrait point. Cependant Jésus n'avait pas dit à Pierre qu'il ne mourrait point; mais: Si je veux qu'il demeure jusqu'à ce que je vienne, que t'importe?
Laonde questo dire si sparse tra i fratelli, che quel discepolo non morrebbe; ma Gesù non avea detto a Pietro ch’egli non morrebbe; ma: Se io voglio ch’egli dimori finch’io venga, che tocca ciò a te?
Divulgou-se, pois, entre os irmãos este dito, que aquele discípulo não havia de morrer. Jesus, porém, não lhe disse que não morreria, mas: Se eu quero que ele fique até que eu venha, que te importa a ti?
於是這話在弟兄中間流傳,說那門徒不死。其實,耶穌不是說他不死,而是對 彼得 說:「假如我要他等到我來的時候還在,跟你有甚麼關係呢? 」
