< John 21 >

1 After these things Jesus Himself again appeared to the disciples on the Sea of Tiberias, and He revealed Himself thus:
ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܚܘܝ ܬܘܒ ܢܦܫܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܝܡܐ ܕܛܝܒܪܝܘܤ ܚܘܝ ܕܝܢ ܗܟܢܐ
2 Simon Peter, and Thomas who is called Didymus, and Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, and the [sons] of Zebedee, and two of His other disciples were together.
ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܬܐܘܡܐ ܕܡܬܐܡܪ ܬܐܡܐ ܘܢܬܢܝܐܝܠ ܗܘ ܕܡܢ ܩܛܢܐ ܕܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܒܢܝ ܙܒܕܝ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܐܚܪܢܝܢ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ
3 Simon Peter says to them, “I go away to fish”; they say to him, “We go—we also—with you”; they went forth and immediately entered into the boat, and on that night they caught nothing.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܐܨܘܕ ܢܘܢܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܐܬܝܢܢ ܥܡܟ ܘܢܦܩܘ ܘܤܠܩܘ ܠܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܒܗܘ ܠܠܝܐ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܨܕܘ
4 And morning having now come, Jesus stood at the shore, yet indeed the disciples did not know that it is Jesus;
ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܨܦܪܐ ܩܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܥܠ ܝܕ ܝܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܗܘ
5 Jesus, therefore, says to them, “Boys, do you have any meat?”
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܛܠܝܐ ܠܡܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܠܡܠܥܤ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܐ
6 They answered Him, “No”; and He said to them, “Cast the net at the right side of the boat, and you will find [some]”; they cast, therefore, and no longer were they able to draw it, from the multitude of the fishes.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܪܡܘ ܡܨܝܕܬܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܓܒܐ ܕܝܡܝܢܐ ܕܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܘܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܐܪܡܝܘ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܠܡܓܕܗ ܠܡܨܝܕܬܐ ܡܢ ܤܘܓܐܐ ܕܢܘܢܐ ܕܐܚܕܬ
7 That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus was loving says to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Simon Peter, therefore, having heard that it is the LORD, girded on the outer coat (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea;
ܘܐܡܪ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܗܘ ܕܪܚܡ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܟܐܦܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܪܢ ܗܘ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܕܡܪܢ ܗܘ ܢܤܒ ܟܘܬܝܢܗ ܡܚܐ ܒܚܨܘܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܪܛܠܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܫܕܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܒܝܡܐ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ
8 and the other disciples came by the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away, dragging the net of the fishes;
ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܒܤܦܝܢܬܐ ܐܬܘ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܪܚܝܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܤܓܝ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܐܬܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܘܢܓܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܠܡܨܝܕܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܢܘܢܐ
9 when, therefore, they came to the land, they behold a fire of coals lying [there], and a fish lying on it, and bread.
ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܤܠܩܘ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܚܙܘ ܓܘܡܪܐ ܟܕ ܤܝܡܢ ܘܢܘܢܐ ܟܕ ܤܝܡ ܥܠܝܗܝܢ ܘܠܚܡܐ
10 Jesus says to them, “Bring from the fishes that you caught now”;
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܝܬܘ ܡܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܘܢܐ ܕܨܕܬܘܢ ܗܫܐ
11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net up on the land, full of great fishes—one hundred fifty-three; and though they were so many, the net was not split.
ܘܤܠܩ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܢܓܕܗ ܠܡܨܝܕܬܐ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܟܕ ܡܠܝܐ ܢܘܢܐ ܪܘܪܒܐ ܡܐܐ ܘܚܡܫܝܢ ܘܬܠܬܐ ܘܒܗܢܐ ܟܠܗ ܝܘܩܪܐ ܠܐ ܐܨܛܪܝܬ ܡܨܝܕܬܐ ܗܝ
12 Jesus says to them, “Come, dine”; and none of the disciples were venturing to inquire of Him, “Who are You?” Knowing that it is the LORD;
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܬܘ ܐܫܬܪܘ ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܠܐ ܡܡܪܚ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܫܐܠܝܘܗܝ ܕܡܢܘ ܕܝܕܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܡܪܢ ܗܘ
13 Jesus, therefore, comes and takes the bread and gives [it] to them, and the fish in like manner;
ܩܪܒ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܫܩܠ ܠܚܡܐ ܘܢܘܢܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ
14 this [is] now a third time Jesus was revealed to His disciples, having been raised from the dead.
ܗܕܐ ܕܬܠܬ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܟܕ ܩܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ
15 When, therefore, they dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, “Simon, [son] of Jonas, do you love Me more than these?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord; You have known that I cherish You”; He says to him, “Feed My lambs.”
ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܐܫܬܪܝܘ ܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܪ ܝܘܢܐ ܪܚܡ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܝܢ ܡܪܝ ܐܢܬ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܕܪܚܡ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܪܥܝ ܠܝ ܐܡܪܝ
16 He says to him again, a second time, “Simon, [son] of Jonas, do you love Me?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord; You have known that I cherish You”; He says to him, “Tend My sheep.”
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܬܘܒ ܕܬܪܬܝܢ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܪ ܝܘܢܐ ܪܚܡ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܝܢ ܡܪܝ ܐܢܬ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܕܪܚܡ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܪܥܝ ܠܝ ܥܪܒܝ
17 He says to him the third time, “Simon, [son] of Jonas, do you cherish Me?” Peter was grieved that He said to him the third time, “Do you cherish Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You have known all things; You know that I cherish You.” Jesus says to him, “Feed My sheep;
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܬܠܬ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܪ ܝܘܢܐ ܪܚܡ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܘܟܪܝܬ ܠܗ ܠܟܐܦܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܬܠܬ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܕܪܚܡ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܐܢܬ ܚܟܡ ܐܢܬ ܐܢܬ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܕܪܚܡ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܪܥܝ ܠܝ ܢܩܘܬܝ
18 truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you were girding yourself and were walking to where you willed, but when you may be old, you will stretch forth your hands, and another will gird you, and will carry [you] to where you do not will”;
ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܕܟܕ ܛܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܐܢܬ ܠܢܦܫܟ ܐܤܪ ܗܘܝܬ ܚܨܝܟ ܘܡܗܠܟ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܕܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܤܐܒܬ ܬܦܫܘܛ ܐܝܕܝܟ ܘܐܚܪܝܢ ܢܐܤܘܪ ܠܟ ܚܨܝܟ ܘܢܘܒܠܟ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܕܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ
19 and this He said, signifying by what death he will glorify God; and having said this, He says to him, “Follow Me.”
ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܕܢܚܘܐ ܒܐܝܢܐ ܡܘܬܐ ܥܬܝܕ ܕܢܫܒܚ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ
20 And having turned, Peter sees the disciple whom Jesus was loving following (who also reclined in the dinner on His breast and said, “Lord, who is he who is delivering You up?”)
ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܚܙܐ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܗܘ ܕܪܚܡ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܗ ܗܘ ܕܢܦܠ ܗܘܐ ܒܚܫܡܝܬܐ ܥܠ ܚܕܝܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܡܢܘ ܡܫܠܡ ܠܟ
21 Having seen this one, Peter says to Jesus, “Lord, and what of this one?”
ܠܗܢܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܟܐܦܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܡܪܝ ܘܗܢܐ ܡܢܐ
22 Jesus says to him, “If I will him to remain until I come, what [is that] to you? Follow Me.”
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܢ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܢܩܘܐ ܗܢܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܡܐ ܠܟ ܐܢܬ ܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ
23 This word, therefore, went forth to the brothers that this disciple does not die, yet Jesus did not say to him that he does not die, but, “If I will him to remain until I come, what [is that] to you?”
ܘܢܦܩܬ ܗܕܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܒܝܬ ܐܚܐ ܕܗܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܠܐ ܡܐܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܐܬ ܐܡܪ ܐܠܐ ܕܐܢ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܢܩܘܐ ܗܢܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܡܐ ܠܟ
24 This is the disciple who is testifying concerning these things, and he wrote these things, and we have known that his testimony is true.
ܗܢܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܕܐܤܗܕ ܥܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܘܐܦ ܟܬܒ ܐܢܝܢ ܘܝܕܥܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܫܪܝܪܐ ܗܝ ܤܗܕܘܬܗ
25 And there are also many other things—as many as Jesus did—which, if they may be written one by one, I think the world itself does not even have place for the scrolls written. Amen.
ܐܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܠܘ ܚܕܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܬܟܬܒܢ ܗܘܝ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܗܘ ܥܠܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܤܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܤܦܩ ܗܘܐ ܠܟܬܒܐ ܕܡܬܟܬܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ
