< John 21 >

1 Later, by the Sea of Tiberias, Jesus again revealed Himself to the disciples. He made Himself known in this way:
tataḥ paraṁ tibiriyājaladhestaṭe yīśuḥ punarapi śiṣyebhyo darśanaṁ dattavān darśanasyākhyānamidam|
2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together.
śimonpitaraḥ yamajathomā gālīlīyakānnānagaranivāsī nithanel sivadeḥ putrāvanyau dvau śiṣyau caiteṣvekatra militeṣu śimonpitaro'kathayat matsyān dhartuṁ yāmi|
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.
tataste vyāharan tarhi vayamapi tvayā sārddhaṁ yāmaḥ tadā te bahirgatāḥ santaḥ kṣipraṁ nāvam ārohan kintu tasyāṁ rajanyām ekamapi na prāpnuvan|
4 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not recognize that it was Jesus.
prabhāte sati yīśustaṭe sthitavān kintu sa yīśuriti śiṣyā jñātuṁ nāśaknuvan|
5 So He called out to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” “No,” they answered.
tadā yīśurapṛcchat, he vatsā sannidhau kiñcit khādyadravyam āste? te'vadan kimapi nāsti|
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.
tadā so'vadat naukāyā dakṣiṇapārśve jālaṁ nikṣipata tato lapsyadhve, tasmāt tai rnikṣipte jāle matsyā etāvanto'patan yena te jālamākṛṣya nottolayituṁ śaktāḥ|
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.
tasmād yīśoḥ priyatamaśiṣyaḥ pitarāyākathayat eṣa prabhu rbhavet, eṣa prabhuriti vācaṁ śrutvaiva śimon nagnatāheto rmatsyadhāriṇa uttarīyavastraṁ paridhāya hradaṁ pratyudalamphayat|
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.
apare śiṣyā matsyaiḥ sārddhaṁ jālam ākarṣantaḥ kṣudranaukāṁ vāhayitvā kūlamānayan te kūlād atidūre nāsan dviśatahastebhyo dūra āsan ityanumīyate|
9 When they landed, they saw a charcoal fire there with fish on it, and some bread.
tīraṁ prāptaistaistatra prajvalitāgnistadupari matsyāḥ pūpāśca dṛṣṭāḥ|
10 Jesus told them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.”
tato yīśurakathayad yān matsyān adharata teṣāṁ katipayān ānayata|
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.
ataḥ śimonpitaraḥ parāvṛtya gatvā bṛhadbhistripañcāśadadhikaśatamatsyaiḥ paripūrṇaṁ tajjālam ākṛṣyodatolayat kintvetāvadbhi rmatsyairapi jālaṁ nāchidyata|
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.
anantaraṁ yīśustān avādīt yūyamāgatya bhuṁgdhvaṁ; tadā saeva prabhuriti jñātatvāt tvaṁ kaḥ? iti praṣṭuṁ śiṣyāṇāṁ kasyāpi pragalbhatā nābhavat|
13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and He did the same with the fish.
tato yīśurāgatya pūpān matsyāṁśca gṛhītvā tebhyaḥ paryyaveṣayat|
14 This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples after He was raised from the dead.
itthaṁ śmaśānādutthānāt paraṁ yīśuḥ śiṣyebhyastṛtīyavāraṁ darśanaṁ dattavān|
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.”
bhojane samāpte sati yīśuḥ śimonpitaraṁ pṛṣṭavān, he yūnasaḥ putra śimon tvaṁ kim etebhyodhikaṁ mayi prīyase? tataḥ sa uditavān satyaṁ prabho tvayi prīye'haṁ tad bhavān jānāti; tadā yīśurakathayat tarhi mama meṣaśāvakagaṇaṁ pālaya|
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.”
tataḥ sa dvitīyavāraṁ pṛṣṭavān he yūnasaḥ putra śimon tvaṁ kiṁ mayi prīyase? tataḥ sa uktavān satyaṁ prabho tvayi prīye'haṁ tad bhavān jānāti; tadā yīśurakathayata tarhi mama meṣagaṇaṁ pālaya|
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.
paścāt sa tṛtīyavāraṁ pṛṣṭavān, he yūnasaḥ putra śimon tvaṁ kiṁ mayi prīyase? etadvākyaṁ tṛtīyavāraṁ pṛṣṭavān tasmāt pitaro duḥkhito bhūtvā'kathayat he prabho bhavataḥ kimapyagocaraṁ nāsti tvayyahaṁ prīye tad bhavān jānāti; tato yīśuravadat tarhi mama meṣagaṇaṁ pālaya|
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.”
ahaṁ tubhyaṁ yathārthaṁ kathayāmi yauvanakāle svayaṁ baddhakaṭi ryatrecchā tatra yātavān kintvitaḥ paraṁ vṛddhe vayasi hastaṁ vistārayiṣyasi, anyajanastvāṁ baddhvā yatra gantuṁ tavecchā na bhavati tvāṁ dhṛtvā tatra neṣyati|
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.”
phalataḥ kīdṛśena maraṇena sa īśvarasya mahimānaṁ prakāśayiṣyati tad bodhayituṁ sa iti vākyaṁ proktavān| ityukte sati sa tamavocat mama paścād āgaccha|
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?”
yo jano rātrikāle yīśo rvakṣo'valambya, he prabho ko bhavantaṁ parakareṣu samarpayiṣyatīti vākyaṁ pṛṣṭavān, taṁ yīśoḥ priyatamaśiṣyaṁ paścād āgacchantaṁ
21 When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”
pitaro mukhaṁ parāvarttya vilokya yīśuṁ pṛṣṭavān, he prabho etasya mānavasya kīdṛśī gati rbhaviṣyati?
22 Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain until I return, what is that to you? You follow Me!”
sa pratyavadat, mama punarāgamanaparyyantaṁ yadi taṁ sthāpayitum icchāmi tatra tava kiṁ? tvaṁ mama paścād āgaccha|
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?”
tasmāt sa śiṣyo na mariṣyatīti bhrātṛgaṇamadhye kiṁvadantī jātā kintu sa na mariṣyatīti vākyaṁ yīśu rnāvadat kevalaṁ mama punarāgamanaparyyantaṁ yadi taṁ sthāpayitum icchāmi tatra tava kiṁ? iti vākyam uktavān|
24 This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who has written them down. And we know that his testimony is true.
yo jana etāni sarvvāṇi likhitavān atra sākṣyañca dattavān saeva sa śiṣyaḥ, tasya sākṣyaṁ pramāṇamiti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
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.
yīśuretebhyo'parāṇyapi bahūni karmmāṇi kṛtavān tāni sarvvāṇi yadyekaikaṁ kṛtvā likhyante tarhi granthā etāvanto bhavanti teṣāṁ dhāraṇe pṛthivyāṁ sthānaṁ na bhavati| iti||
