< John 21 >
1 After these things he manifested himself again to the disciples at the lake of Tiberias. And he manifested himself in this manner.
After these things, Yeshua revealed himself again to the disciples at Lake Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.
2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.
Shimon Kipha, Tama called the Twin, Nathanayil of Qatne in Galila, and the sons of Zabedai, and two others of his disciples were together.
3 Simon Peter saith to them, I am going a fishing. They say to him, We also will go with thee. They set out and went into the boat, and on that night caught nothing.
Shimon Kipha 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.
4 But when the morning was coming on, Jesus stood on the shore; but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
But when day had already come, Yeshua stood on the beach, yet the disciples did not know that it was Yeshua.
5 Then Jesus saith to them, Children, have ye any fish? They answered him, No.
Yeshua therefore said to them, "Children, have you anything to eat?" They answered him, "No."
6 And he said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye will find. And they cast it, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of the fishes.
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.
7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith to Peter, It is the Lord. Simon Peter therefore, hearing that it was the Lord, girded on his outer garment, for he had on nothing but his under one, and threw himself into the lake.
That disciple therefore whom Yeshua loved said to Kipha, "It's the Lord." So when Shimon Kipha heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the lake.
8 And the other disciples came in the boat, (for they were not far from land, only about two hundred cubits, ) dragging the net with the fishes.
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.
9 When therefore they had come to land, they see a fire of coals there, and a fish lying thereon, and bread.
So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish placed on it, and bread.
10 Jesus saith to them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
Yeshua said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have just caught."
11 Simon Peter therefore went on board, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty three; and though there were so many, the net was not broken.
Shimon Kipha 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.
12 Jesus saith to them, Come and breakfast. But no one of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
Yeshua said to them, "Come and eat breakfast." None of the disciples dared inquire of him, "Who are you?" knowing that it was the Lord.
13 Jesus cometh and taketh the bread, and giveth them, and the fish likewise.
Then Yeshua came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.
14 This is now the third time that Jesus manifested himself to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead.
This is now the third time that Yeshua was revealed to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead.
15 So when they had breakfasted, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed my lambs.
So when they had eaten their breakfast, Yeshua said to Shimon Kipha, "Shimon, son of Yukhanan, 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."
16 He saith to him again a second time, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? He saith to him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Tend my sheep.
He said to him again a second time, "Shimon, son of Yukhanan, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."
17 He saith to him the third time, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed my sheep.
He said to him the third time, "Shimon, son of Yukhanan, do you love me?" Kipha 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." Yeshua said to him, "Feed my sheep.
18 Truly, truly do I say to thee, when thou wast young, thou didst gird thyself, and walk whither thou wouldst; but when thou hast grown old, thou wilt stretch forth thy hands, and another will gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldst not.
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."
19 This he said, signifying by what manner of death he was to glorify God. And having thus spoken, he saith to him, Follow me.
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."
20 Peter, turning round, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following, —who also at supper leaned back on his breast, and said, Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee?—
Then Kipha, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Yeshua sincerely loved, the one who had also leaned on Yeshua's chest at the evening meal and asked, "Lord, who is going to betray You?"
21 Peter, seeing him, saith to Jesus, Lord, and how will it be with him?
Kipha seeing him, said to Yeshua, "Lord, what about this man?"
22 Jesus saith to him, If it be my will that he remain till I come, what is it to thee? Follow thou me.
Yeshua said to him, "If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me."
23 This report therefore went abroad among the brethren, that this disciple was not to die. And yet Jesus did not say to him, He will not die; but, If it be my will that he remain till I come, what is it to thee?
This saying therefore went out among the brothers, that this disciple would not die. Yet Yeshua 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?"
24 This is the disciple who testifieth of these things, and hath written these things; and we know that his testimony is true.
This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.
There are also many other things which Yeshua 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.
