Exegesis
The correction begins with ouk eipen de autō ho Iēsous {οὐκ εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς | ouk eipen de autō ho Iēsous}, where de {δὲ | de} marks a mild contrast and the sentence explicitly denies the rumor’s attribution to Jesus.
In context — John 21:23
Therefore this saying went out among the brothers that the disciple, that one, would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?”
