John 21
1 After this, Jesus again showed Himself to the disciples. It was at the Lake of Tiberias. The circumstances were as follows.
tataḥ paraṁ tibiriyājaladhestaṭe yīśuḥ punarapi śiṣyebhyo darśanaṁ dattavān darśanasyākhyānamidam|
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.
śimonpitaraḥ yamajathomā gālīlīyakānnānagaranivāsī nithanel sivadeḥ putrāvanyau dvau śiṣyau caiteṣvekatra militeṣu śimonpitaro'kathayat matsyān dhartuṁ yāmi|
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.
tataste vyāharan tarhi vayamapi tvayā sārddhaṁ yāmaḥ tadā te bahirgatāḥ santaḥ kṣipraṁ nāvam ārohan kintu tasyāṁ rajanyām ekamapi na prāpnuvan|
4 When, however, day was now dawning, Jesus stood on the beach, though the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
prabhāte sati yīśustaṭe sthitavān kintu sa yīśuriti śiṣyā jñātuṁ nāśaknuvan|
5 He called to them. "Children," He said, "have you any food there?" "No," they answered.
tadā yīśurapṛcchat, he vatsā sannidhau kiñcit khādyadravyam āste? te'vadan kimapi nāsti|
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.
tadā so'vadat naukāyā dakṣiṇapārśve jālaṁ nikṣipata tato lapsyadhve, tasmāt tai rnikṣipte jāle matsyā etāvanto'patan yena te jālamākṛṣya nottolayituṁ śaktāḥ|
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.
tasmād yīśoḥ priyatamaśiṣyaḥ pitarāyākathayat eṣa prabhu rbhavet, eṣa prabhuriti vācaṁ śrutvaiva śimon nagnatāheto rmatsyadhāriṇa uttarīyavastraṁ paridhāya hradaṁ pratyudalamphayat|
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.
apare śiṣyā matsyaiḥ sārddhaṁ jālam ākarṣantaḥ kṣudranaukāṁ vāhayitvā kūlamānayan te kūlād atidūre nāsan dviśatahastebhyo dūra āsan ityanumīyate|
9 As soon as they landed, they saw a charcoal fire burning there, with fish broiling on it, and bread close by.
tīraṁ prāptaistaistatra prajvalitāgnistadupari matsyāḥ pūpāśca dṛṣṭāḥ|
10 Jesus told them to fetch some of the fish which they had just caught.
tato yīśurakathayad yān matsyān adharata teṣāṁ katipayān ānayata|
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.
ataḥ śimonpitaraḥ parāvṛtya gatvā bṛhadbhistripañcāśadadhikaśatamatsyaiḥ paripūrṇaṁ tajjālam ākṛṣyodatolayat kintvetāvadbhi rmatsyairapi jālaṁ nāchidyata|
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.
anantaraṁ yīśustān avādīt yūyamāgatya bhuṁgdhvaṁ; tadā saeva prabhuriti jñātatvāt tvaṁ kaḥ? iti praṣṭuṁ śiṣyāṇāṁ kasyāpi pragalbhatā nābhavat|
13 Then Jesus came and took the bread and gave them some, and the fish in the same way.
tato yīśurāgatya pūpān matsyāṁśca gṛhītvā tebhyaḥ paryyaveṣayat|
14 This was now the third occasion on which Jesus showed Himself to the disciples after He had risen from among the dead.
itthaṁ śmaśānādutthānāt paraṁ yīśuḥ śiṣyebhyastṛtīyavāraṁ darśanaṁ dattavān|
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.
bhojane samāpte sati yīśuḥ śimonpitaraṁ pṛṣṭavān, he yūnasaḥ putra śimon tvaṁ kim etebhyodhikaṁ mayi prīyase? tataḥ sa uditavān satyaṁ prabho tvayi prīye'haṁ tad bhavān jānāti; tadā yīśurakathayat tarhi mama meṣaśāvakagaṇaṁ pālaya|
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.
tataḥ sa dvitīyavāraṁ pṛṣṭavān he yūnasaḥ putra śimon tvaṁ kiṁ mayi prīyase? tataḥ sa uktavān satyaṁ prabho tvayi prīye'haṁ tad bhavān jānāti; tadā yīśurakathayata tarhi mama meṣagaṇaṁ pālaya|
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.
paścāt sa tṛtīyavāraṁ pṛṣṭavān, he yūnasaḥ putra śimon tvaṁ kiṁ mayi prīyase? etadvākyaṁ tṛtīyavāraṁ pṛṣṭavān tasmāt pitaro duḥkhito bhūtvā'kathayat he prabho bhavataḥ kimapyagocaraṁ nāsti tvayyahaṁ prīye tad bhavān jānāti; tato yīśuravadat tarhi mama meṣagaṇaṁ pālaya|
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."
ahaṁ tubhyaṁ yathārthaṁ kathayāmi yauvanakāle svayaṁ baddhakaṭi ryatrecchā tatra yātavān kintvitaḥ paraṁ vṛddhe vayasi hastaṁ vistārayiṣyasi, anyajanastvāṁ baddhvā yatra gantuṁ tavecchā na bhavati tvāṁ dhṛtvā tatra neṣyati|
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."
phalataḥ kīdṛśena maraṇena sa īśvarasya mahimānaṁ prakāśayiṣyati tad bodhayituṁ sa iti vākyaṁ proktavān| ityukte sati sa tamavocat mama paścād āgaccha|
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?"
yo jano rātrikāle yīśo rvakṣo'valambya, he prabho ko bhavantaṁ parakareṣu samarpayiṣyatīti vākyaṁ pṛṣṭavān, taṁ yīśoḥ priyatamaśiṣyaṁ paścād āgacchantaṁ
21 On seeing him, Peter asked Jesus, "And, Master, what about him?"
pitaro mukhaṁ parāvarttya vilokya yīśuṁ pṛṣṭavān, he prabho etasya mānavasya kīdṛśī gati rbhaviṣyati?
22 "If I desire him to remain till I come," replied Jesus, "what concern is that of yours? You, yourself, must follow me."
sa pratyavadat, mama punarāgamanaparyyantaṁ yadi taṁ sthāpayitum icchāmi tatra tava kiṁ? tvaṁ mama paścād āgaccha|
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?"
tasmāt sa śiṣyo na mariṣyatīti bhrātṛgaṇamadhye kiṁvadantī jātā kintu sa na mariṣyatīti vākyaṁ yīśu rnāvadat kevalaṁ mama punarāgamanaparyyantaṁ yadi taṁ sthāpayitum icchāmi tatra tava kiṁ? iti vākyam uktavān|
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.
yo jana etāni sarvvāṇi likhitavān atra sākṣyañca dattavān saeva sa śiṣyaḥ, tasya sākṣyaṁ pramāṇamiti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
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.
yīśuretebhyo'parāṇyapi bahūni karmmāṇi kṛtavān tāni sarvvāṇi yadyekaikaṁ kṛtvā likhyante tarhi granthā etāvanto bhavanti teṣāṁ dhāraṇe pṛthivyāṁ sthānaṁ na bhavati| iti||
