John 21
1 After these things Jesus manifested himself again to his disciples at the sea of Tiberias. And he revealed himself this way.
AFTER these things Jesus again shewed himself to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and he appeared in the following manner:
2 There were together, Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other men of his disciples.
Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, the twin, and Nathaniel who was of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of the disciples were together.
3 Simon Peter says to them, I am going to harvest fish. They say to him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and straightaway entered into the boat. And in that night they caught nothing.
Simon Peter said to them, I am going a-fishing. They say to him, We too will go with thee. They went out, and got on board the vessel immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
4 But having now become morning, Jesus stood on the shore. However the disciples had not seen that it was Jesus.
But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood upon the beach: yet the disciples had not discovered that it was Jesus.
5 Therefore Jesus says to them, Children, have ye anything eatable? They answered him, No.
Then saith Jesus unto them, My youths, have ye any thing eatable? They answered him, No.
6 And he said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye will find. Therefore they cast, and they were no longer able to draw it for the magnitude of fishes.
Then he said to them, Shoot the net on the right side of the vessel, and ye shall find fish. They shot it therefore, and now they were not able to drag it in from the quantity of fishes.
7 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved says to Peter, It is the Lord. So when Simon Peter heard that it is the Lord, he tied the coat around himself (for he was undressed), and threw himself into the sea.
Then said that disciple whom Jesus loved to Peter, It is the Lord! Then Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, girt his coat round him, (for he was stripped, ) and threw himself into the sea.
8 And the other disciples came in the skiff (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits off), dragging the net of the fishes.
And the other disciples came in the little vessel, (for they were not far from land, only about two hundred cubits, ) dragging the net with the fishes.
9 So when they came to the land, they saw a fire of coals set, and fish laying on it, and bread.
When therefore they were come to land, they saw a fire laid, and a fish upon it, and a loaf.
10 Jesus says to them, Bring from the fishes that ye now caught.
Jesus saith to them, Bring some of the fish which ye have just caught.
11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty-three. And being so many, the net was not broken.
Simon Peter went aboard, and drew the net to land full of large fishes, to the number of a hundred and fifty-three: and though they were so many, yet was not the net rent.
12 Jesus says to them, Come, eat breakfast. And none of the disciples dared to query him, Who are thou? knowing that it is the Lord.
Jesus saith to them, Come, dine. Now not one of the disciples dared inquire, Who art thou? conscious that it was the Lord.
13 Jesus therefore comes, and takes the bread, and gives to them, and the fish likewise.
Then Jesus cometh, and taketh the loaf, and distributed to them, and of the fish in like manner.
14 This is now a third time Jesus was manifested to his disciples after being raised from the dead.
Now this was the third time Jesus had shewed himself to the disciples, after he rose from the dead.
15 So when they ate breakfast, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonah, do thou love me more than these things? He says to him, Yea, Lord. Thou know that I love thee. He says to him, Feed my lambs.
When therefore they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him, Yes, Lord! thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed my lambs.
16 He says to him again a second time, Simon, son of Jonah, do thou love me? He says to him, Yea, Lord. Thou know that I love thee. He says to him, Feed my sheep.
He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith to him, Yes, Lord! thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
17 He says to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonah, do thou love me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Do thou love me? And he said to him, Lord, thou know all things. Thou know that I love thee. Jesus says to him, Feed my sheep.
He saith to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I love thee! Jesus saith to him, Feed my sheep.
18 Truly, truly, I say to thee, When thou were younger, thou girded thyself, and walked where thou would, but when thou become old, thou will stretch forth thy hands, and another will gird thee, and carry thee where thou do not want.
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast a younger man, thou didst gird up thyself, and go about whithersoever thy choice led thee: but when thou shalt grow old, another person extending thy hands, shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
19 Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he will glorify God. And after saying this, he says to him, Follow me.
This he told him, to intimate by what kind of death he should glorify God. And having thus spoken, he said to him, Follow me.
20 But Peter, having turned around, sees the disciple whom Jesus loves, following, who also leaned near his chest at the supper, and said, Lord, who is the man betraying thee?
Now Peter, turning about, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following; who also at the supper reclined on his bosom, and said, Lord, which is the person who betrayeth thee?
21 Having seen this man, Peter says to Jesus, Lord, and what of this man?
Peter looking at him, saith to Jesus, Lord, and what will become of this man?
22 Jesus says to him, If I want him to remain until I come, what is it to thee? Follow thou me.
Jesus saith to him, If I will that he abide till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.
23 This saying therefore went forth among the brothers, that that disciple does not die. And yet Jesus did not say to him, that he does not die, but, If I want him to remain until I come, what is it to thee?
Then this speech went forth among the disciples, as though this disciple was not to die: yet Jesus had not said to him, That he shall not die; but, If I will that he abide till I come, what is that to thee?
24 This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and who wrote these things. And we know that his testimony is true.
This is the disciple who is testifing of these things, and hath written these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
25 And there are also many other things, as many as Jesus did, which if they would be written every one, I suppose not even the world itself to make room for the books being written. Truly.
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if every particular was written, I am of opinion that the world itself would not be capable of retaining the books which should be written. Amen.
