< John 21 >

1 After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.
After this, Jesus showed himself again to his disciples, at the sea of Tiberias. And he showed himself in this way.
2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his 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'm going fishing." They told him, "We are also coming with you." They went out, and entered into the boat. 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 day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples did not know 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 Jesus therefore said to them, "Children, have you anything to eat?" They answered him, "No."
Then Jesus said to them: Children, have you any food? They answered him: No.
6 He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." They cast it therefore, and now they weren't able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.
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 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It's the Lord." So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around him (for he was naked), 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 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about one hundred yards away), dragging the net full of fish.
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 So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish placed on it, and bread.
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 said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have just caught."
Jesus said to them; Bring of the fish that you have just taken.
11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fish, one hundred fifty-three; and even though there were so many, the net was not torn.
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 said to them, "Come and eat breakfast." None of the disciples dared inquire of him, "Who are you?" knowing 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 came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.
Then Jesus came and took the bread, and gave it to them, and the fish likewise.
14 This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples, after he had risen 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 So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said 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 said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend 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 said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you." Jesus said 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 Truly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself, and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you, and carry you where you do not want to go."
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 Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, 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 Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus sincerely loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus' chest at the evening meal and asked, "Lord, who is going to betray You?"
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 seeing him, said to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?"
Peter seeing this one, said to Jesus: Lord, what shall this one do?
22 Jesus said to him, "If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me."
Jesus said to him: If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? Do you follow me.
23 This saying therefore went out among the brothers, that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, "If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?"
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 testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness 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 There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself would not have room for the books that would be written.
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.
