21. οὖτος δὲ τί; Literally, but this man, what? Not so much, ‘what shall he do?’ as ‘what about him?’ What is the lot in store for Thy and my friend? The question arises from sympathy and the natural wish that he and his habitual companion should be treated alike. An awful but glorious future has been promised to S. Peter; what is in store for S. John? Hence the οὖν. As usual, S. Peter acts on the first impulse; and we once more see the intimacy between these two Apostles [24]: comp. John 13:6-9; John 13:24; John 18:15; John 20:1; John 20:6.
