SY moi a-ko-LOU-thei
Exegesis
The final sequence sy moi akolouthei {σύ μοι ἀκολούθει | sý moi a-ko-loú-thei} is sharply personal: the emphatic sy {σύ | sý} redirects attention to Peter, and the imperative akolouthei {ἀκολούθει | a-ko-loú-thei} closes the saying with a direct command to remain focused on discipleship rather than comparison. The contrast between another disciple’s future and Peter’s present calling is the discourse center of the verse.
In context — John 21:22
Jesus says to him, “If I desire that he remain until I come, what concern is that of yours? You, follow Me.”
