{The putting off of my tabernacle} (h(8820)apothesis tou
sk(886e)n(936d)atos mou). For apothesis see on 氣Pe 3:21| and for
sk(886e)(936d)a verse  13 . For the metaphor see  2Co 5:3f . {Cometh
swiftly} (	achin(8820)estin). Late adjective (Theocritus, LXX,
inscription), in N.T. only here and  2:1 . It is not clear
whether 	achinos means soon or speedy as in  Isa 59:7  and like
	achus in  Jas 1:19 , or sudden, like 	achus in Plato
(_Republ_. 553 D). Either sense agrees with the urgent tone of
Peter here, whether he felt his death to be near or violent or
both. {Signified unto me} (ed(886c)(9373)en moi). First aorist active
indicative of d(886c)o(935c), old verb (from delos), as in  1Pe 1:11 .
Peter refers to the incident told in  Joh 21:18f. , which he knew
by personal experience before John wrote it down.
