< John 21 >
1 Later, by the Sea of Tiberias, Jesus again revealed Himself to the disciples. He made Himself known in this way:
Depois disto manifestou-se Jesus outra vez aos discípulos junto do mar de Tiberiades; e manifestou-se assim:
2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together.
Estavam juntos Simão Pedro, e Tomé, chamado Didimo, e Nathanael, o de Caná da Galiléia, os filhos de Zebedeo, e outros dois dos seus discípulos.
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.
Disse-lhes Simão Pedro: Vou pescar. Dizem-lhe eles: também nós vamos contigo. Foram, e subiram logo para o barco, e naquela noite nada apanharam.
4 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not recognize that it was Jesus.
E, sendo já manhã, Jesus se apresentou na praia, porém os discípulos não conheceram que era Jesus.
5 So He called out to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” “No,” they answered.
Disse-lhes pois Jesus: Filhos, tendes alguma coisa de comer? Responderam-lhe: Não.
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.
E ele lhes disse: lançai a rede para a banda direita do barco, e achareis. lançaram-na pois, e já não a podiam tirar, pela multidão dos peixes.
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.
Então aquele discípulo a quem Jesus amava disse a Pedro: É o Senhor. E, quando Simão Pedro ouviu que era o Senhor, cingiu-se com a túnica (porque estava nú) e lançou-se ao mar.
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.
E os outros discípulos foram com o barco (porque não estavam distantes da terra senão quase duzentos covados), levando a rede dos peixes.
9 When they landed, they saw a charcoal fire there with fish on it, and some bread.
Logo que desceram para terra, viram ali umas brazas, e um peixe posto em cima, e pão.
10 Jesus told them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.”
Disse-lhes Jesus: Trazei dos peixes que agora apanhastes.
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.
Simão Pedro subiu, puxou a rede para terra, cheia de cento e cincoênta e três grandes peixes, e, sendo tantos, não se rompeu a rede.
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.
Disse-lhes Jesus: Vinde, jantai. E nenhum dos discípulos ousava perguntar-lhe: Quem és tu? sabendo que era o Senhor.
13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and He did the same with the fish.
Chegou pois Jesus, e tomou o pão, e deu-lho, e, semelhantemente o peixe.
14 This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples after He was raised from the dead.
E já esta era a terceira vez que Jesus se manifestava aos seus discípulos, depois de ter resuscitado dos mortos.
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.”
E, depois de terem jantado, disse Jesus a Simão Pedro: Simão, filho de Jonas, amas-me mais do que estes? E ele respondeu: Sim, Senhor; tu sabes que te amo. Disse-lhe: Apascenta os meus cordeiros.
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.”
Tornou a dizer-lhe segunda vez. Simão, filho de Jonas, amas-me? Disse-lhe: Sim, Senhor; tu sabes que te amo. Disse-lhe: Apascenta as minhas ovelhas.
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.
Disse-lhe terceira vez: Simão, filho de Jonas, amas-me? Simão entristeceu-se por lhe ter dito terceira vez: Amas-me? e disse-lhe: Senhor, tu sabes todas as coisas; tu sabes que eu te amo. Jesus disse-lhe: Apascenta as minhas ovelhas.
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.”
Na verdade, na verdade, te digo, que, quando eras mais moço, te cingias a ti mesmo, e andavas por onde querias: mas, quando já fores velho, estenderás as tuas mãos; e outro te cingirá, e te levará para onde tu não queiras.
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.”
E disse isto, significando com que morte havia ele de glorificar a Deus. E, dito isto, disse-lhe: Segue-me.
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?”
E Pedro, voltando-se, viu que o seguia aquele discípulo a quem Jesus amava, e que na ceia se recostara também ao seu peito, e que dissera: Senhor, quem é que te há de trair.
21 When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”
Vendo Pedro a este, disse a Jesus: Senhor, e deste que será?
22 Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain until I return, what is that to you? You follow Me!”
Disse-lhe Jesus: Se eu quero que ele fique até que eu venha, que te importa a ti? Segue-me tu.
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?”
Divulgou-se pois entre os irmãos este dito, que aquele discípulo não havia de morrer. Jesus, porém, não lhe disse que não morreria, mas: Se eu quero que ele fique até que eu venha, que te importa a ti?
24 This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who has written them down. And we know that his testimony is true.
Este é o discípulo que testifica destas coisas, e estas coisas escreveu; e sabemos que o seu testemunho é verdadeiro.
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.
Há, porém, ainda muitas outras coisas que Jesus fez, as quais, se cada uma de per si fosse escrita, cuido que nem ainda o mundo todo poderia conter os livros que se escrevessem. amém.
