< John 21 >

1 Later, by the Sea of Tiberias, Jesus again revealed Himself to the disciples. He made Himself known in this way:
Μετὰ ταῦτα, ἐφανέρωσεν ἑαυτὸν πάλιν ˚Ἰησοῦς τοῖς μαθηταῖς ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς Τιβεριάδος· ἐφανέρωσεν δὲ οὕτως:
2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together.
ἦσαν ὁμοῦ Σίμων Πέτρος, καὶ Θωμᾶς ὁ λεγόμενος Δίδυμος, καὶ Ναθαναὴλ ὁ ἀπὸ Κανὰ τῆς Γαλιλαίας, καὶ οἱ τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου, καὶ ἄλλοι ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ δύο.
3 Simon Peter told them, “I am going fishing.” “We will go with you,” they said. So they went out and got into the boat, but caught nothing that night.
Λέγει αὐτοῖς Σίμων Πέτρος, “Ὑπάγω ἁλιεύειν.” Λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, “Ἐρχόμεθα καὶ ἡμεῖς σὺν σοί.” Ἐξῆλθον καὶ ἐνέβησαν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, καὶ ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ νυκτὶ ἐπίασαν οὐδέν.
4 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not recognize that it was Jesus.
Πρωΐας δὲ ἤδη γινομένης, ἔστη ˚Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὸν αἰγιαλόν· οὐ μέντοι ᾔδεισαν οἱ μαθηταὶ ὅτι ˚Ἰησοῦς ἐστιν.
5 So He called out to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” “No,” they answered.
Λέγει οὖν αὐτοῖς ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Παιδία, μή τι προσφάγιον ἔχετε;” Ἀπεκρίθησαν αὐτῷ, “Οὔ.”
6 He told them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it there, and they were unable to haul it in because of the great number of fish.
Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Βάλετε εἰς τὰ δεξιὰ μέρη τοῦ πλοίου τὸ δίκτυον, καὶ εὑρήσετε.” Ἔβαλον οὖν, καὶ οὐκέτι αὐτὸ ἑλκύσαι ἴσχυον ἀπὸ τοῦ πλήθους τῶν ἰχθύων.
7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it) and jumped into the sea.
Λέγει οὖν ὁ μαθητὴς ἐκεῖνος ὃν ἠγάπα ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς τῷ Πέτρῳ, “Ὁ ˚Κύριός ἐστιν.” Σίμων οὖν Πέτρος ἀκούσας ὅτι ὁ ˚Κύριός ἐστιν, τὸν ἐπενδύτην διεζώσατο, ἦν γὰρ γυμνός, καὶ ἔβαλεν ἑαυτὸν εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν.
8 The other disciples came ashore in the boat. They dragged in the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, only about a hundred yards.
Οἱ δὲ ἄλλοι μαθηταὶ τῷ πλοιαρίῳ ἦλθον, οὐ γὰρ ἦσαν μακρὰν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, ἀλλὰ ὡς ἀπὸ πηχῶν διακοσίων, σύροντες τὸ δίκτυον τῶν ἰχθύων.
9 When they landed, they saw a charcoal fire there with fish on it, and some bread.
Ὡς οὖν ἀπέβησαν εἰς τὴν γῆν, βλέπουσιν ἀνθρακιὰν κειμένην, καὶ ὀψάριον ἐπικείμενον, καὶ ἄρτον.
10 Jesus told them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.”
Λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἐνέγκατε ἀπὸ τῶν ὀψαρίων ὧν ἐπιάσατε νῦν.”
11 So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many, the net was not torn.
Ἀνέβη οὖν Σίμων Πέτρος, καὶ εἵλκυσεν τὸ δίκτυον εἰς τὴν γῆν μεστὸν ἰχθύων μεγάλων ἑκατὸν πεντήκοντα τριῶν· καὶ τοσούτων ὄντων, οὐκ ἐσχίσθη τὸ δίκτυον.
12 “Come, have breakfast,” Jesus said to them. None of the disciples dared to ask Him, “Who are You?” They knew it was the Lord.
Λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Δεῦτε, ἀριστήσατε.” Οὐδεὶς δὲ ἐτόλμα τῶν μαθητῶν ἐξετάσαι αὐτόν, “Σὺ τίς εἶ;” Εἰδότες ὅτι ὁ ˚Κύριός ἐστιν.
13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and He did the same with the fish.
Ἔρχεται ˚Ἰησοῦς, καὶ λαμβάνει τὸν ἄρτον καὶ δίδωσιν αὐτοῖς, καὶ τὸ ὀψάριον ὁμοίως.
14 This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples after He was raised from the dead.
Τοῦτο ἤδη τρίτον ἐφανερώθη ˚Ἰησοῦς τοῖς μαθηταῖς, ἐγερθεὶς ἐκ νεκρῶν.
15 When they had finished eating, Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love Me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he answered, “You know I love You.” Jesus replied, “Feed My lambs.”
Ὅτε οὖν ἠρίστησαν, λέγει τῷ Σίμωνι Πέτρῳ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Σίμων Ἰωάννου, ἀγαπᾷς με πλέον τούτων;” Λέγει αὐτῷ, “Ναί, ˚Κύριε, σὺ οἶδας ὅτι φιλῶ σε.” Λέγει αὐτῷ, “Βόσκε τὰ ἀρνία μου.”
16 Jesus asked a second time, “Simon son of John, do you love Me?” “Yes, Lord,” he answered, “You know I love You.” Jesus told him, “Shepherd My sheep.”
Λέγει αὐτῷ πάλιν δεύτερον, “Σίμων Ἰωάννου, ἀγαπᾷς με;” Λέγει αὐτῷ, “Ναί, ˚Κύριε, σὺ οἶδας ὅτι φιλῶ σε.” Λέγει αὐτῷ, “Ποίμαινε τὰ πρόβατά μου.”
17 Jesus asked a third time, “Simon son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was deeply hurt that Jesus had asked him a third time, “Do you love Me?” “Lord, You know all things,” he replied. “You know I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep.
Λέγει αὐτῷ τὸ τρίτον, “Σίμων Ἰωάννου, φιλεῖς με;” Ἐλυπήθη ὁ Πέτρος ὅτι εἶπεν αὐτῷ τὸ τρίτον, “Φιλεῖς με;” Καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ, “˚Κύριε, πάντα σὺ οἶδας, σὺ γινώσκεις ὅτι φιλῶ σε.” Λέγει αὐτῷ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Βόσκε τὰ προβάτιά μου.”
18 Truly, truly, I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”
Ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω σοι, ὅτε ἦς νεώτερος, ἐζώννυες σεαυτὸν, καὶ περιεπάτεις ὅπου ἤθελες· ὅταν δὲ γηράσῃς, ἐκτενεῖς τὰς χεῖράς σου, καὶ ἄλλος ζώσουσιν σε, καὶ οἴσει ὅπου οὐ θέλεις.
19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. And after He had said this, He told him, “Follow Me.”
Τοῦτο δὲ εἶπεν, σημαίνων ποίῳ θανάτῳ δοξάσει τὸν ˚Θεόν. Καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν, λέγει αὐτῷ, “Ἀκολούθει μοι.”
20 Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them. He was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper to ask, “Lord, who is going to betray You?”
Ἐπιστραφεὶς, ὁ Πέτρος βλέπει τὸν μαθητὴν ὃν ἠγάπα ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἀκολουθοῦντα, ὃς καὶ ἀνέπεσεν ἐν τῷ δείπνῳ ἐπὶ τὸ στῆθος αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν, “˚Κύριε, τίς ἐστιν, ὁ παραδιδούς σε;”
21 When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”
Τοῦτον οὖν ἰδὼν, ὁ Πέτρος λέγει τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ, “˚Κύριε, οὗτος δὲ τί;”
22 Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain until I return, what is that to you? You follow Me!”
Λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἐὰν αὐτὸν θέλω μένειν ἕως ἔρχομαι, τί πρὸς σέ; Σύ μοι ἀκολούθει!”
23 Because of this, the rumor spread among the brothers that this disciple would not die. However, Jesus did not say that he would not die, but only, “If I want him to remain until I return, what is that to you?”
Ἐξῆλθεν οὖν οὗτος ὁ λόγος εἰς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς, ὅτι ὁ μαθητὴς ἐκεῖνος οὐκ ἀποθνῄσκει. Οὐκ εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ὅτι Οὐκ ἀποθνῄσκει, ἀλλʼ, “Ἐὰν αὐτὸν θέλω μένειν ἕως ἔρχομαι, τί πρὸς σέ;”
24 This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who has written them down. And we know that his testimony is true.
Οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ μαθητὴς ὁ μαρτυρῶν περὶ τούτων, καὶ ὁ γράψας ταῦτα, καὶ οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἀληθὴς αὐτοῦ ἡ μαρτυρία ἐστίν.
25 There are many more things that Jesus did. If all of them were written down, I suppose that not even the world itself would have space for the books that would be written.
Ἔστιν δὲ καὶ ἄλλα πολλὰ ἃ ἐποίησεν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, ἅτινα ἐὰν γράφηται καθʼ ἕν, οὐδʼ αὐτὸν οἶμαι τὸν κόσμον χωρήσειν τὰ γραφόμενα βιβλία.
