John 21
1 After these things Jesus Himself again appeared to the disciples on the Sea of Tiberias, and He revealed Himself thus:
After these things Jesus shewed Himself again to the disciples near the sea of Tiberias; and He shewed Himself thus.
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.
Simon Peter and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together:
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.
and Simon Peter saith unto them, I will go a fishing, and they say to him, We will also go with thee. So they went out, and forthwith entered into a ship: and that night they caught nothing.
4 And morning having now come, Jesus stood at the shore, yet indeed the disciples did not know that it is Jesus;
But when it was morning, Jesus stood on the shore: though the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
5 Jesus, therefore, says to them, “Boys, do you have any meat?”
Then Jesus saith unto them, Young men, have ye any thing to eat?
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.
They answered Him, No. And He said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye will find some. So they cast it, and they were not able to draw it up by reason of the multitude of fishes.
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;
Whereupon that disciple whom Jesus loved, saith to Peter, "It is the Lord." Then Simon Peter perceiving that it was the Lord, girded on his coat, (for he was stript, ) and threw himself into the sea;
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;
and the other disciples came in the boat dragging the net of fishes; for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits.
9 when, therefore, they came to the land, they behold a fire of coals lying [there], and a fish lying on it, and bread.
And as soon as they were come to land, they saw a fire laid, and fish upon it, and bread.
10 Jesus says to them, “Bring from the fishes that you caught now”;
And Jesus saith unto them, Bring some of the fish, which ye have now caught.
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.
Then Simon Peter went aboard, and drew the net to land, full of large fishes, an hundred fifty-three: and though there were so many, the net was not broken.
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;
Jesus saith unto them, Come, and dine. And none of the disciples presumed to ask Him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
13 Jesus, therefore, comes and takes the bread and gives [it] to them, and the fish in like manner;
Jesus therefore cometh and taketh bread, and giveth it to them, and fish likewise.
14 this [is] now a third time Jesus was revealed to His disciples, having been raised from the dead.
This was the third time that Jesus shewed Himself to a number of his disciples, after He was risen from the dead.
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.”
Now when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon son of Jonas, dost thou love me more than these? He saith unto Him, Yes, Lord, Thou knowest that I love Thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
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.”
He saith to him again the second time, Simon son of Jonas, dost thou love me? He saith unto Him, Yes, Lord, Thou knowest that I love Thee.
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;
He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Simon son of Jonas, dost thou love me? Peter was grieved, that He said to him the third time, Dost thou love me? And he said unto Him, Lord, Thou knowest all things, Thou knowest that I love Thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
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”;
Verily, verily I say unto thee, When thou wast younger, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst about where thou wouldest: but when thou art old, thou shalt stretch out thine hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee where thou wouldest not.
19 and this He said, signifying by what death he will glorify God; and having said this, He says to him, “Follow Me.”
This He said, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when He had said this, He saith unto him, Follow me.
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?”)
And Peter turning about seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved, (and who leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, who is he that will betray Thee?) following them;
21 Having seen this one, Peter says to Jesus, “Lord, and what of this one?”
and upon seeing him, Peter saith to Jesus, Lord, what shall this man do?
22 Jesus says to him, “If I will him to remain until I come, what [is that] to you? Follow Me.”
Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he stay till I come, what is it to thee? Follow thou me.
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?”
This rumor therefore was spread among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: though Jesus did not say that he should not die, but---if I will that he stay till I come, what is that to thee?
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.
This is the disciple that testifieth of these things, and that writeth them: and we know that his testimony is true.
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.
There are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were to be described particularly, I suppose that the whole world could not contain the books that would be written concerning them. Amen.
