John 21
1 After this, Jesus again showed Himself to the disciples. It was at the Lake of Tiberias. The circumstances were as follows.
ⲁ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲁⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϩⲓϫⲛ ⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲛⲧⲓⲃⲉⲣⲓⲁⲥ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ
2 Simon Peter was with Thomas, called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zabdi, and two others of the Master's disciples.
ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲓ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲡⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲑⲱⲙⲁⲥ ⲡⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲇⲓⲇⲩⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲑⲁⲛⲁⲏⲗ ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲕⲁⲛⲁ ⲛⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲍⲉⲃⲉⲇⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲕⲉⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ
3 Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." "We will go too," said they. So they set out and went on board their boat; but they caught nothing that night.
ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϭⲉⲡ ⲧⲃⲧ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲛⲛⲏⲩ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲕ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲁⲗⲉ ⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲟⲩϭⲉⲡ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ
4 When, however, day was now dawning, Jesus stood on the beach, though the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
ⲇ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϩⲧⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲓⲥ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ϩⲓ ⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲓⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲉ
5 He called to them. "Children," He said, "have you any food there?" "No," they answered.
ⲉ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲓϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲙⲏ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲃⲧ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ
6 "Throw the net in on the right hand side," He said, "and you will find fish." So they threw the net in, and now they could scarcely drag it along for the quantity of fish.
ⲋ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛϣⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛϣⲡ ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲉⲥ ⲙⲡⲛϭⲉⲡ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲉⲕⲣⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲛⲛⲁⲛⲟϫϥ ⲁⲩⲛⲟϫϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲉϣ ϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲥⲟⲕϥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲁϣⲏ ⲛⲧⲃⲧ
7 This made the disciple whom Jesus loved say to Peter, "It is the Master." Simon Peter therefore, when he heard the words, "It is the Master," drew on his fisherman's shirt--for he had not been wearing it--put on his girdle, and sprang into the water.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϭⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲣϥ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲡⲉⲛⲇⲩⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲉϥⲕⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲁϩⲏⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϥⲟϭϥ ⲉⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ
8 But the rest of the disciples came in the small boat (for they were not far from land--only about a hundred yards off), dragging the net full of fish.
ⲏ̅ⲛⲕⲉⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ϩⲓ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓ ⲛⲉⲩⲟⲩⲏⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲁϣⲏⲧ ⲙⲙⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲕ ⲙⲡⲉϣⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲧⲃⲧ
9 As soon as they landed, they saw a charcoal fire burning there, with fish broiling on it, and bread close by.
ⲑ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩϣⲁϩ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲧⲃⲧ ϩⲓϫⲱϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲟⲓⲕ ⲉϥⲕⲏ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ
10 Jesus told them to fetch some of the fish which they had just caught.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲧⲃⲧ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϭⲟⲡⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ
11 So Simon Peter went on board the boat and drew the net ashore full of large fish, 153 in number; and yet, although there were so many, the net had not broken.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁϥⲁⲗⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲥⲱⲕ ⲙⲡⲉ ϣⲛⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ ⲉϥⲙⲉϩ ⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲧⲃⲧ ⲉⲩⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛϣⲉ ⲧⲁⲓⲟⲩ ϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲓⲁϣⲏ ⲛⲧⲃⲧ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲉϣⲛⲉ ⲡⲱϩ
12 "Come this way and have breakfast," said Jesus. But not one of the disciples ventured to question Him as to who He was, for they felt sure that it was the Master.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲏⲉⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲙⲡⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲧⲟⲗⲙⲁ ⲉϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉ
13 Then Jesus came and took the bread and gave them some, and the fish in the same way.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ⲁϥϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲟⲓⲕ ⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲃⲧ
14 This was now the third occasion on which Jesus showed Himself to the disciples after He had risen from among the dead.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲉϩ ϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ
15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?" "Yes, Master," was his answer; "you know that you are dear to me." "Then feed my lambs," replied Jesus.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲕⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ϯⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲓⲓⲃ
16 Again a second time He asked him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" "Yes, Master," he said, "you know that you are dear to me." "Then be a shepherd to my sheep," He said.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲙⲉϩ ⲥⲉⲡ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲕⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ϯⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ
17 A third time Jesus put the question: "Simon, son of John, am I dear to you?" It grieved Peter that Jesus asked him the third time, "Am I dear to you?" "Master," he replied, "you know everything, you can see that you are dear to me." "Then feed my much-loved sheep," said Jesus.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲙⲉϩ ϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ϫⲉ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲕⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲁϥⲗⲩⲡⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲙⲉϩ ϣⲙⲛⲧ ⲥⲱⲱⲡ ϫⲉ ⲕⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲕⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲕⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ϯⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ
18 "In most solemn truth I tell you that whereas, when you were young, you used to put on your girdle and walk whichever way you chose, when you have grown old you will stretch out your arms and some one else will put a girdle round you and carry you where you have no wish to go."
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲟⲓϣ ⲉⲛⲉⲕⲟ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲛⲉϣⲁⲕⲙⲟⲣⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲅⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲕⲟⲩⲁϣϥ ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲕϣⲁⲛⲣ ϩⲗⲗⲟ ⲕⲛⲁⲡⲣϣ ⲛⲉⲕϭⲓϫ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲟⲣⲕ ⲛϥϫⲓⲧⲕ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲅⲟⲩⲁϣϥ ⲁⲛ
19 This He said to indicate the kind of death by which that disciple would bring glory to God; and after speaking thus He said to him, "Follow me."
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲥⲏⲙⲁⲛⲉ ϫⲉ ϩⲛ ⲁϣ ⲙⲙⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲛⲁϯ ⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁϩⲕ ⲛⲥⲱⲉⲓ
20 Peter turned round and noticed the disciple whom Jesus loved following--the one who at the supper had leaned back on His breast and had asked, "Master, who is it that is betraying you?"
ⲕ̅ⲁϥⲕⲧⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲛⲟϫϥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲇⲉⲓⲡⲛⲟⲛ ⲉϫⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲉⲥⲧϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲓⲇⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ
21 On seeing him, Peter asked Jesus, "And, Master, what about him?"
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲛⲉ
22 "If I desire him to remain till I come," replied Jesus, "what concern is that of yours? You, yourself, must follow me."
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϭⲱ ϣⲁⲛϯⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲁϩⲕ ⲛⲥⲱⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ
23 Hence the report spread among the brethren that that disciple would never die. Yet Jesus did not say, "He is not to die," but, "If I desire him to remain till I come, what concern is that of yours?"
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲡⲉⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ϭⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛϥⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲓϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϭⲱ ϣⲁⲛϯⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ
24 That is the disciple who gives his testimony as to these matters, and has written this history; and we know that his testimony is true.

25 But there are also many other things which Jesus did--so vast a number indeed that if they were all described in detail, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would have to be written.
