< John 21 >

1 After this Jesus showed himself again to his disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. He showed himself as follows.
Siden aabenbarede Jesus sig atter for Disciplene ved Tiberias-Søen; men han aabenbarede sig saaledes.
2 There were together Simon Peter and Thomas, called "The Twin," and Nathanael, from Cana of Galilee, and the two sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.
Simon Peter og Thomas, hvilket betyder Tvilling, og Nathanael fra Kana i Galilæa og Zebedæus's Sønner og to andre af hans Disciple vare sammen.
3 Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They answered him, "And we are going with you." So they went out and got into the boat, and throughout the night they caught nothing.
Simon Peter siger til dem: „Jeg gaar ud at fiske.” De sige til ham: „Ogsaa vi gaa med dig.” De gik ud og gik om Bord i Skibet, og den Nat fangede de intet.
4 But when day was dawning Jesus stood on the beach. The disciples, however, did not recognize that it was Jesus.
Men da det nu blev Morgen, stod Jesus ved Søbredden; dog vidste Disciplene ikke, at det var Jesus.
5 So Jesus said to them, "Lads, you haven’t any fish, have you?" They answered him, "No."
Jesus siger da til dem: „Børnlille! have I noget at spise?” De svarede ham: „Nej.”
6 And he said to them, "Cast your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find." So they cast it, and now they could not haul it in for the multitude of fishes.
Men han sagde til dem: „Kaster Garnet ud paa højre Side af Skibet, saa skulle I finde.” Da kastede de det ud, og de formaaede ikke mere at drage det for Fiskenes Mængde.
7 Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" On hearing that it was the Lord, Simon Peter girt his fisher’s coat about him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the water.
Den Discipel, som Jesus elskede, siger da til Peter: „Det er Herren.” Da Simon Peter nu hørte, at det var Herren, bandt han sin Fiskerkjortel om sig (thi han var nøgen), og kastede sig i Søen.
8 The rest of the disciples came in the boat, for they were not far from shore - only about a hundred yards - dragging in the net full of fish.
Men de andre Disciple kom med Skibet, thi de vare ikke langt fra Land, kun omtrent to Hundrede Alen, og de slæbte efter sig Garnet med Fiskene.
9 When they got to the shore they beheld a charcoal fire ready laid, with fish on it, and some bread.
Da de nu kom i Land, se de der en Kulild og Fisk ligge derpaa og Brød.
10 "Bring some of the fish you have just caught," Jesus told them.
Jesus siger til dem: „Bringer hid af de Fisk, som I nu fangede.”
11 So Simon Peter went and dragged the net to shore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; but for all this number the net was not torn.
Simon Peter steg op og trak Garnet paa Land, fuldt af store Fisk, et Hundrede og tre og halvtredsindstyve, og skønt de vare saa mange, sønderreves Garnet ikke.
12 "Come and have breakfast," said Jesus to them. Not one of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" Knowing that it was the Lord.
Jesus siger til dem: „Kommer og holder Maaltid!” Men ingen af Disciplene vovede at spørge ham: „Hvem er du?” thi de vidste, at det var Herren.
13 Jesus went and took bread and gave it to them, and the fish also.
Jesus kommer og tager Brødet og giver dem det, ligeledes ogsaa Fiskene.
14 This was the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples after he had risen from among the dead.
Dette var allerede den tredje Gang, at Jesus aabenbarede sig for sine Disciple, efter at han var oprejst fra de døde.
15 When they were through breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?" "Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me." he answered. Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs."
Da de nu havde holdt Maaltid, siger Jesus til Simon Peter: „Simon, Johannes's Søn, elsker du mig mere end disse?” Han siger til ham: „Ja, Herre! du ved, at jeg har dig kær.” Han siger til ham: „Vogt mine Lam!”
16 He said to him a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me." "Be a shepherd to my sheep," said Jesus.
Han siger atter anden Gang til ham: „Simon, Johannes's Søn, elsker du mig?” Han siger til ham: „Ja, Herre! du ved, at jeg har dig kær.” Han siger til ham: „Vær Hyrde for mine Faar!”
17 The third time Jesus asked him, "Am I really dear to you?" Peter was grieved because the third time he asked, "Am I really dear to you?" and he answered, "Master, you know all things, you know that you are dear to me."
Han siger tredje Gang til ham: „Simon, Johannes's Søn, har du mig kær?” Peter blev bedrøvet, fordi han tredje Gang sagde til ham: „Har du mig kær?” Og han sagde til ham: „Herre! du kender alle Ting, du ved, at jeg har dig kær.” Jesus siger til ham: „Vogt mine Faar!
18 "Feed my sheep," said Jesus. "In solemn truth I tell you that when you were young, you used to put on your own girdle, and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old you will stretch out your hands for some one to gird you, and carry you where you do not wish to go."
Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg dig, da du var yngre, bandt du selv op om dig og gik, hvorhen du vilde; men naar du bliver gammel, skal du udrække dine Hænder, og en anden skal binde op om dig og føre dig derhen, hvor du ikke vil.”
19 This he said to show by what kind of death Peter was to glorify God. After speaking thus, he said to him, "Follow me."
Men dette sagde han for at betegne, med hvilken Død han skulde herliggøre Gud. Og da han havde sagt dette, siger han til ham: „Følg mig!”
20 Peter turned around and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following - he who at the supper leaned back upon his breast and said, "Lord, who is to betray you?"
Peter vendte sig og saa den Discipel følge, som Jesus elskede, og som ogsaa laa op til hans Bryst ved Nadveren og sagde: „Herre! hvem er den, som forraader dig?”
21 On catching sight of him, Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, what about him?"
Da nu Peter saa ham, siger han til Jesus: „Herre! men hvorledes skal det gaa denne?”
22 "If I choose that he remain until I come," said Jesus, "what is that to you? Do you follow me."
Jesus siger til ham: „Dersom jeg vil, at han skal blive, indtil jeg kommer, hvad vedkommer det dig? Følg du mig!”
23 Accordingly the report spread among the brothers that this disciple should not die; but Jesus did not say that he was not to die, but said, "If I choose that he remain until I come, what is that to you?"
Saa kom da dette Ord ud iblandt Brødrene: „Denne Discipel dør ikke;” og Jesus havde dog ikke sagt til ham, at han ikke skulde dø, men: „Dersom jeg vil, at han skal blive, indtil jeg kommer, hvad vedkommer det dig?”
24 It is this disciple who bears testimony to these facts and who recorded them; and we know that his testimony is true.
Dette er den Discipel, som vidner om disse Ting og har skrevet dette; og vi vide, at hans Vidnesbyrd er sandt.
25 But there are also many other things which Jesus did; if every one of them were to be recorded in detail I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would have to be written.
Men der er ogsaa mange andre Ting, som Jesus har gjort, og dersom de skulde skrives enkeltvis, mener jeg, at ikke hele Verden kunde rumme de Bøger, som da bleve skrevne.
