< 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 shewed Himself again to the disciples near the sea of Tiberias; and He shewed Himself thus.
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, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his 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.
and Simon Peter saith unto them, I will go a fishing, and they say to him, We will also go with thee. So they went out, and forthwith entered into a ship: 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 it was morning, Jesus stood on the shore: though the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
5 Therefore Jesus says to them, Children, have ye anything eatable? They answered him, No.
Then Jesus saith unto them, Young men, have ye any thing to eat?
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.
They answered Him, No. And He said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye will find some. So they cast it, and they were not able to draw it up by reason of the multitude 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.
Whereupon that disciple whom Jesus loved, saith to Peter, "It is the Lord." Then Simon Peter perceiving that it was the Lord, girded on his coat, (for he was stript, ) 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 boat dragging the net of fishes; for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits.
9 So when they came to the land, they saw a fire of coals set, and fish laying on it, and bread.
And as soon as they were come to land, they saw a fire laid, and fish upon it, and bread.
10 Jesus says to them, Bring from the fishes that ye now caught.
And Jesus saith unto them, Bring some of the fish, which ye have now 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.
Then Simon Peter went aboard, and drew the net to land, full of large fishes, an hundred fifty-three: and though there were so many, the net was not broken.
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 unto them, Come, and dine. And none of the disciples presumed to ask Him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
13 Jesus therefore comes, and takes the bread, and gives to them, and the fish likewise.
Jesus therefore cometh and taketh bread, and giveth it to them, and fish likewise.
14 This is now a third time Jesus was manifested to his disciples after being raised from the dead.
This was the third time that Jesus shewed Himself to a number of his disciples, after He was risen 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.
Now when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon son of Jonas, dost thou love me more than these? He saith unto Him, Yes, Lord, Thou knowest that I love Thee. He saith unto 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, dost thou love me? He saith unto Him, Yes, Lord, Thou knowest that I love Thee.
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 unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Simon son of Jonas, dost thou love me? Peter was grieved, that He said to him the third time, Dost thou love me? And he said unto Him, Lord, Thou knowest all things, Thou knowest that I love Thee. Jesus saith unto 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 younger, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst about where thou wouldest: but when thou art old, thou shalt stretch out thine hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee where 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 said, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when He had said this, He saith unto 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?
And Peter turning about seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved, (and who leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, who is he that will betray Thee?) following them;
21 Having seen this man, Peter says to Jesus, Lord, and what of this man?
and upon seeing him, Peter saith to Jesus, Lord, what shall this man do?
22 Jesus says to him, If I want him to remain until I come, what is it to thee? Follow thou me.
Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he stay till I come, what is it 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?
This rumor therefore was spread among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: though Jesus did not say that he should not die, but---if I will that he stay 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 that testifieth of these things, and that writeth them: 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.
There are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were to be described particularly, I suppose that the whole world could not contain the books that would be written concerning them. Amen.
