John 21
1 AFTER these things Jesus again shewed himself to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and he appeared in the following manner:
After this, Jesus showed himself again to his disciples, at the sea of Tiberias. And he showed himself in this way.
2 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.
There were together, Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathaniel of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.
3 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.
Simon Peter said to them: I am going a fishing. They said to him: We also are going with you. They went out and entered the ship; and that night they caught nothing.
4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood upon the beach: yet the disciples had not discovered that it was Jesus.
But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
5 Then saith Jesus unto them, My youths, have ye any thing eatable? They answered him, No.
Then Jesus said to them: Children, have you any food? They answered him: No.
6 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.
He said to them: Throw the net on the right side of the ship, and you will find. They threw it, there fore, and were no longer able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
7 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.
Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter: It is the Lord. And when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girded on his outer coat, for he had on his inner garment only, and threw himself into the sea.
8 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.
And the other disciples came in a little ship, dragging the net with fishes, for they were not far from the land, only about two hundred cubits.
9 When therefore they were come to land, they saw a fire laid, and a fish upon it, and a loaf.
As soon as they had come to the land, they saw there a fire of coals, and fish lying upon it, and bread.
10 Jesus saith to them, Bring some of the fish which ye have just caught.
Jesus said to them; Bring of the fish that you have just taken.
11 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.
Simon Peter went and drew the net to the land, full of large fishes, a hundred and fifty-three. And though they were so many, the net did not break.
12 Jesus saith to them, Come, dine. Now not one of the disciples dared inquire, Who art thou? conscious that it was the Lord.
Jesus said to them: Come and breakfast. But no one of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? because they knew it was the Lord.
13 Then Jesus cometh, and taketh the loaf, and distributed to them, and of the fish in like manner.
Then Jesus came and took the bread, and gave it to them, and the fish likewise.
14 Now this was the third time Jesus had shewed himself to the disciples, after he rose from the dead.
This was now the third occasion on which Jesus showed himself to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead.
15 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.
When, therefore, they had taken breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter: Simon, son of Jonah, Do you love me more than these? He said to him: Yes, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He said to him: Feed my lambs.
16 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.
He said to him again a second time: Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me? He said to him: Yes, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He said to him: Be a shepherd to my sheep.
17 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.
He said to him a third time: Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Do you love me? And he said to him: Lord, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said to him: Feed my sheep.
18 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.
Verily, verily I say to you, when you were young, you girded yourself, and walked whither you chose; but when you have become old, you shall stretch forth your hands, and another shall gird you, and lead you whither you would not.
19 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.
But this he said, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he said to him: Follow me.
20 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?
Then Peter, turning about, saw the disciple that Jesus loved, following, who also reclined at supper upon his breast, and said: Lord, who is he that delivers thee up?
21 Peter looking at him, saith to Jesus, Lord, and what will become of this man?
Peter seeing this one, said to Jesus: Lord, what shall this one do?
22 Jesus saith to him, If I will that he abide till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.
Jesus said to him: If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? Do you follow me.
23 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?
Therefore, this saying went out among the brethren, that that disciple should not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you?
24 This is the disciple who is testifing of these things, and hath written these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
This is the disciple who testifies of these things, and who has written these things; and we know that his testimony is true.
25 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.
And there are also many other things that Jesus did; if they should be written, every one of them, I suppose that not even the world itself could contain the books that would be written.
