< John 21 >
1 After these things Jesus Himself again appeared to the disciples on the Sea of Tiberias, and He revealed Himself thus:
Μετὰ ταῦτα, ἐφανέρωσεν ἑαυτὸν πάλιν ˚Ἰησοῦς τοῖς μαθηταῖς ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς Τιβεριάδος· ἐφανέρωσεν δὲ οὕτως:
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.
ἦσαν ὁμοῦ Σίμων Πέτρος, καὶ Θωμᾶς ὁ λεγόμενος Δίδυμος, καὶ Ναθαναὴλ ὁ ἀπὸ Κανὰ τῆς Γαλιλαίας, καὶ οἱ τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου, καὶ ἄλλοι ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ δύο.
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.
Λέγει αὐτοῖς Σίμων Πέτρος, “Ὑπάγω ἁλιεύειν.” Λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, “Ἐρχόμεθα καὶ ἡμεῖς σὺν σοί.” Ἐξῆλθον καὶ ἐνέβησαν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, καὶ ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ νυκτὶ ἐπίασαν οὐδέν.
4 And morning having now come, Jesus stood at the shore, yet indeed the disciples did not know that it is Jesus;
Πρωΐας δὲ ἤδη γινομένης, ἔστη ˚Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὸν αἰγιαλόν· οὐ μέντοι ᾔδεισαν οἱ μαθηταὶ ὅτι ˚Ἰησοῦς ἐστιν.
5 Jesus, therefore, says to them, “Boys, do you have any meat?”
Λέγει οὖν αὐτοῖς ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Παιδία, μή τι προσφάγιον ἔχετε;” Ἀπεκρίθησαν αὐτῷ, “Οὔ.”
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.
Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Βάλετε εἰς τὰ δεξιὰ μέρη τοῦ πλοίου τὸ δίκτυον, καὶ εὑρήσετε.” Ἔβαλον οὖν, καὶ οὐκέτι αὐτὸ ἑλκύσαι ἴσχυον ἀπὸ τοῦ πλήθους τῶν ἰχθύων.
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;
Λέγει οὖν ὁ μαθητὴς ἐκεῖνος ὃν ἠγάπα ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς τῷ Πέτρῳ, “Ὁ ˚Κύριός ἐστιν.” Σίμων οὖν Πέτρος ἀκούσας ὅτι ὁ ˚Κύριός ἐστιν, τὸν ἐπενδύτην διεζώσατο, ἦν γὰρ γυμνός, καὶ ἔβαλεν ἑαυτὸν εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν.
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;
Οἱ δὲ ἄλλοι μαθηταὶ τῷ πλοιαρίῳ ἦλθον, οὐ γὰρ ἦσαν μακρὰν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, ἀλλὰ ὡς ἀπὸ πηχῶν διακοσίων, σύροντες τὸ δίκτυον τῶν ἰχθύων.
9 when, therefore, they came to the land, they behold a fire of coals lying [there], and a fish lying on it, and bread.
Ὡς οὖν ἀπέβησαν εἰς τὴν γῆν, βλέπουσιν ἀνθρακιὰν κειμένην, καὶ ὀψάριον ἐπικείμενον, καὶ ἄρτον.
10 Jesus says to them, “Bring from the fishes that you caught now”;
Λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἐνέγκατε ἀπὸ τῶν ὀψαρίων ὧν ἐπιάσατε νῦν.”
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.
Ἀνέβη οὖν Σίμων Πέτρος, καὶ εἵλκυσεν τὸ δίκτυον εἰς τὴν γῆν μεστὸν ἰχθύων μεγάλων ἑκατὸν πεντήκοντα τριῶν· καὶ τοσούτων ὄντων, οὐκ ἐσχίσθη τὸ δίκτυον.
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;
Λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Δεῦτε, ἀριστήσατε.” Οὐδεὶς δὲ ἐτόλμα τῶν μαθητῶν ἐξετάσαι αὐτόν, “Σὺ τίς εἶ;” Εἰδότες ὅτι ὁ ˚Κύριός ἐστιν.
13 Jesus, therefore, comes and takes the bread and gives [it] to them, and the fish in like manner;
Ἔρχεται ˚Ἰησοῦς, καὶ λαμβάνει τὸν ἄρτον καὶ δίδωσιν αὐτοῖς, καὶ τὸ ὀψάριον ὁμοίως.
14 this [is] now a third time Jesus was revealed to His disciples, having been raised from the dead.
Τοῦτο ἤδη τρίτον ἐφανερώθη ˚Ἰησοῦς τοῖς μαθηταῖς, ἐγερθεὶς ἐκ νεκρῶν.
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.”
Ὅτε οὖν ἠρίστησαν, λέγει τῷ Σίμωνι Πέτρῳ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Σίμων Ἰωάννου, ἀγαπᾷς με πλέον τούτων;” Λέγει αὐτῷ, “Ναί, ˚Κύριε, σὺ οἶδας ὅτι φιλῶ σε.” Λέγει αὐτῷ, “Βόσκε τὰ ἀρνία μου.”
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.”
Λέγει αὐτῷ πάλιν δεύτερον, “Σίμων Ἰωάννου, ἀγαπᾷς με;” Λέγει αὐτῷ, “Ναί, ˚Κύριε, σὺ οἶδας ὅτι φιλῶ σε.” Λέγει αὐτῷ, “Ποίμαινε τὰ πρόβατά μου.”
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;
Λέγει αὐτῷ τὸ τρίτον, “Σίμων Ἰωάννου, φιλεῖς με;” Ἐλυπήθη ὁ Πέτρος ὅτι εἶπεν αὐτῷ τὸ τρίτον, “Φιλεῖς με;” Καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ, “˚Κύριε, πάντα σὺ οἶδας, σὺ γινώσκεις ὅτι φιλῶ σε.” Λέγει αὐτῷ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Βόσκε τὰ προβάτιά μου.”
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”;
Ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω σοι, ὅτε ἦς νεώτερος, ἐζώννυες σεαυτὸν, καὶ περιεπάτεις ὅπου ἤθελες· ὅταν δὲ γηράσῃς, ἐκτενεῖς τὰς χεῖράς σου, καὶ ἄλλος ζώσουσιν σε, καὶ οἴσει ὅπου οὐ θέλεις.
19 and this He said, signifying by what death he will glorify God; and having said this, He says to him, “Follow Me.”
Τοῦτο δὲ εἶπεν, σημαίνων ποίῳ θανάτῳ δοξάσει τὸν ˚Θεόν. Καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν, λέγει αὐτῷ, “Ἀκολούθει μοι.”
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?”)
Ἐπιστραφεὶς, ὁ Πέτρος βλέπει τὸν μαθητὴν ὃν ἠγάπα ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἀκολουθοῦντα, ὃς καὶ ἀνέπεσεν ἐν τῷ δείπνῳ ἐπὶ τὸ στῆθος αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν, “˚Κύριε, τίς ἐστιν, ὁ παραδιδούς σε;”
21 Having seen this one, Peter says to Jesus, “Lord, and what of this one?”
Τοῦτον οὖν ἰδὼν, ὁ Πέτρος λέγει τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ, “˚Κύριε, οὗτος δὲ τί;”
22 Jesus says to him, “If I will him to remain until I come, what [is that] to you? Follow Me.”
Λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Ἐὰν αὐτὸν θέλω μένειν ἕως ἔρχομαι, τί πρὸς σέ; Σύ μοι ἀκολούθει!”
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?”
Ἐξῆλθεν οὖν οὗτος ὁ λόγος εἰς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς, ὅτι ὁ μαθητὴς ἐκεῖνος οὐκ ἀποθνῄσκει. Οὐκ εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ὅτι Οὐκ ἀποθνῄσκει, ἀλλʼ, “Ἐὰν αὐτὸν θέλω μένειν ἕως ἔρχομαι, τί πρὸς σέ;”
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.
Οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ μαθητὴς ὁ μαρτυρῶν περὶ τούτων, καὶ ὁ γράψας ταῦτα, καὶ οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἀληθὴς αὐτοῦ ἡ μαρτυρία ἐστίν.
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.
Ἔστιν δὲ καὶ ἄλλα πολλὰ ἃ ἐποίησεν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, ἅτινα ἐὰν γράφηται καθʼ ἕν, οὐδʼ αὐτὸν οἶμαι τὸν κόσμον χωρήσειν τὰ γραφόμενα βιβλία.
