Yohanes 14:3

14:3 And if I go and make ready ¹  a place for you, I will come again and take you ²  to be with me, ³  so that where I am you may be too.

Yohanes 21:22-23

21:22 Jesus replied, ⁴  “If I want him to live ⁵  until I come back, ⁶  what concern is that of yours? You follow me!” 21:23 So the saying circulated ⁷  among the brothers and sisters ⁸  that this disciple was not going to die. But Jesus did not say to him that he was not going to die, but rather, “If I want him to live ⁹  until I come back, ¹⁰  what concern is that of yours?”

[14:3]  ¹ tn Or “prepare.”

[14:3]  ² tn Or “bring you.”

[14:3]  ³ tn Grk “to myself.”

[21:22]  ⁴ tn Grk “Jesus said to him.”

[21:22]  ⁵ tn Grk “to stay” or “to remain”; but since longevity is the issue in the context, “to live” conveys the idea more clearly.

[21:22]  ⁶ tn The word “back” is supplied to clarify the meaning.

[21:23]  ⁷ tn Grk “went out.”

[21:23]  ⁸ tn Grk “the brothers,” but here the term refers to more than just the immediate disciples of Jesus (as it does in 20:17). Here, as R. E. Brown notes (John [AB], 2:1110), it refers to Christians of the Johannine community (which would include both men and women).

[21:23]  ⁹ tn Grk “to stay” or “to remain”; but since longevity is the issue in the context, “to live” conveys the idea more clearly.

[21:23]  ¹⁰ tn The word “back” is supplied to clarify the meaning.
