Κατα Ιωαννην 21
1 μετα ταυτα εφανερωσεν εαυτον παλιν ο ιησουσ τοισ μαθηταισ επι τησ θαλασσησ τησ τιβεριαδοσ εφανερωσεν δε ουτωσ
After that, Jesus showed himself to [us] disciples when we were at Tiberias Lake, [which is another name for Galilee Lake]. This is what happened:
2 ησαν ομου σιμων πετροσ και θωμασ ο λεγομενοσ διδυμοσ και ναθαναηλ ο απο κανα τησ γαλιλαιασ και οι του ζεβεδαιου και αλλοι εκ των μαθητων αυτου δυο
Simon Peter, Thomas who was called {whom [we] called} The Twin, Nathaniel from Cana [town] in Galilee, my older brother and I, and two other disciples were together.
3 λεγει αυτοισ σιμων πετροσ υπαγω αλιευειν λεγουσιν αυτω ερχομεθα και ημεισ συν σοι εξηλθον και ενεβησαν εισ το πλοιον ευθυσ και εν εκεινη τη νυκτι επιασαν ουδεν
Simon Peter said to us, “[I] am going to [try to] catch some fish.” We said, “We will go with you.” So we went down [to the lake] and got into the boat. But that night we caught nothing.
4 πρωιασ δε ηδη γενομενησ εστη ο ιησουσ εισ τον αιγιαλον ου μεντοι ηδεισαν οι μαθηται οτι ιησουσ εστιν
Early the next morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but we did not know that it was Jesus.
5 λεγει ουν αυτοισ ο ιησουσ παιδια μη τι προσφαγιον εχετε απεκριθησαν αυτω ου
He called out to us, “My friends, you have not [caught] any fish, have you?” We answered, “You are correct, [we have not caught any].”
6 ο δε ειπεν αυτοισ βαλετε εισ τα δεξια μερη του πλοιου το δικτυον και ευρησετε εβαλον ουν και ουκετι αυτο ελκυσαι ισχυσαν απο του πληθουσ των ιχθυων
He said to us, “Throw your net out from the right-hand side of the boat! Then you will find some!” We did that, and we caught so many fish [in the net] that we were unable to pull the net into [the boat]!
7 λεγει ουν ο μαθητησ εκεινοσ ον ηγαπα ο ιησουσ τω πετρω ο κυριοσ εστιν σιμων ουν πετροσ ακουσασ οτι ο κυριοσ εστιν τον επενδυτην διεζωσατο ην γαρ γυμνοσ και εβαλεν εαυτον εισ την θαλασσαν
[But I knew that it was Jesus], [so] I said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Peter had taken off his cloak [while he was working], but as soon as he heard [me say] “It is the Lord!” he wrapped his cloak around himself and jumped into the water [and swam to shore].
8 οι δε αλλοι μαθηται τω πλοιαριω ηλθον ου γαρ ησαν μακραν απο τησ γησ αλλ ωσ απο πηχων διακοσιων συροντεσ το δικτυον των ιχθυων
The rest of us came [to the shore] in the boat, pulling the net full of fish. We were not far from shore, only about 100 yards/meters.
9 ωσ ουν απεβησαν εισ την γην βλεπουσιν ανθρακιαν κειμενην και οψαριον επικειμενον και αρτον
When [we] got to the shore, we saw that there was a fire of burning coals there, with a [large] fish on the fire, and [some] buns.
10 λεγει αυτοισ ο ιησουσ ενεγκατε απο των οψαριων ων επιασατε νυν
Jesus said to us, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught!”
11 ανεβη σιμων πετροσ και ειλκυσεν το δικτυον επι τησ γησ μεστον ιχθυων μεγαλων εκατον πεντηκοντα τριων και τοσουτων οντων ουκ εσχισθη το δικτυον
Simon Peter got in [the boat] and dragged the net to the shore. It was full of large fish. There were 153 of them! But in spite of there being so many fish, the net was not torn.
12 λεγει αυτοισ ο ιησουσ δευτε αριστησατε ουδεισ δε ετολμα των μαθητων εξετασαι αυτον συ τισ ει ειδοτεσ οτι ο κυριοσ εστιν
Jesus said to us, “Come and eat some breakfast!” None of us dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because we knew that it was the Lord.
13 ερχεται ουν ο ιησουσ και λαμβανει τον αρτον και διδωσιν αυτοισ και το οψαριον ομοιωσ
Jesus took the buns and gave them to us. He did the same with the fish.
14 τουτο ηδη τριτον εφανερωθη ο ιησουσ τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου εγερθεισ εκ νεκρων
That was the third time that Jesus appeared to [us] disciples after [God] caused him to become alive again after he died.
15 οτε ουν ηριστησαν λεγει τω σιμωνι πετρω ο ιησουσ σιμων ιωνα αγαπασ με πλειον τουτων λεγει αυτω ναι κυριε συ οιδασ οτι φιλω σε λεγει αυτω βοσκε τα αρνια μου
When we had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “John’s [son] Simon, do you love me more than these [other disciples do]?” Peter said to him, “Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me (OR, that I love you).” Jesus said, “Give to [those who belong to] me [what they need spiritually, like] [MET] [a shepherd provides] food for his lambs.”
16 λεγει αυτω παλιν δευτερον σιμων ιωνα αγαπασ με λεγει αυτω ναι κυριε συ οιδασ οτι φιλω σε λεγει αυτω ποιμαινε τα προβατα μου
Jesus said to him again, “John’s [son] Simon, do you love me?” He replied, “Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me (OR, that I love you).” Jesus said to him, “Take care of [those who belong to] me, [like] [MET] a [shepherd takes care of his] sheep.”
17 λεγει αυτω το τριτον σιμων ιωνα φιλεισ με ελυπηθη ο πετροσ οτι ειπεν αυτω το τριτον φιλεισ με και ειπεν αυτω κυριε συ παντα οιδασ συ γινωσκεισ οτι φιλω σε λεγει αυτω ο ιησουσ βοσκε τα προβατα μου
Jesus said to him a third time, “John’s son Simon, am I really dear to you (OR, do you really love me)?” Peter was grieved because Jesus asked him this three times, [and because the third time he changed the question]. He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that you are dear to me (OR, that I love you).” Jesus said, “Give to [those who belong to] me [what they need spiritually, as] [MET] [a shepherd provides] food for [his] sheep.
18 αμην αμην λεγω σοι οτε ησ νεωτεροσ εζωννυεσ σεαυτον και περιεπατεισ οπου ηθελεσ οταν δε γηρασησ εκτενεισ τασ χειρασ σου και αλλοσ σε ζωσει και οισει οπου ου θελεισ
Now listen to this carefully: When you were young, you put your clothes on by yourself, and you went wherever you wanted to go. But when you are old, you will stretch out your arms, and someone will fasten them [with a rope] and will lead you to a place where you do not want to [go].”
19 τουτο δε ειπεν σημαινων ποιω θανατω δοξασει τον θεον και τουτο ειπων λεγει αυτω ακολουθει μοι
Jesus said this to indicate how Peter would die ([violently/on a cross]) in order to honor God. Then Jesus said to him, “Keep being my faithful disciple [until you die].”
20 επιστραφεισ δε ο πετροσ βλεπει τον μαθητην ον ηγαπα ο ιησουσ ακολουθουντα οσ και ανεπεσεν εν τω δειπνω επι το στηθοσ αυτου και ειπεν κυριε τισ εστιν ο παραδιδουσ σε
Peter turned around and saw that I was following them. I was the one who leaned close to Jesus during the [Passover] meal and said, “Lord, who is going to enable your enemies to seize you?”
21 τουτον ιδων ο πετροσ λεγει τω ιησου κυριε ουτοσ δε τι
When Peter saw me, he asked, “Lord, what [is going to happen] to him?”
22 λεγει αυτω ο ιησουσ εαν αυτον θελω μενειν εωσ ερχομαι τι προσ σε συ ακολουθει μοι
Jesus said to him, “If I want him to remain [alive] until I return, (that is not your concern!/what is that to you?) [RHQ] You be my [faithful] disciple!”
23 εξηλθεν ουν ο λογοσ ουτοσ εισ τουσ αδελφουσ οτι ο μαθητησ εκεινοσ ουκ αποθνησκει και ουκ ειπεν αυτω ο ιησουσ οτι ουκ αποθνησκει αλλ εαν αυτον θελω μενειν εωσ ερχομαι τι προσ σε
Some of the other believers heard [a report of] what Jesus had said about me, and [they thought that Jesus meant] that I would not die. But Jesus did not say that I would not die. He said only, “If I want him to remain [alive] until I return, (that is not your concern!/what is that to you?) [RHQ]”
24 ουτοσ εστιν ο μαθητησ ο μαρτυρων περι τουτων και γραψασ ταυτα και οιδαμεν οτι αληθησ εστιν η μαρτυρια αυτου
[I, John], am the disciple who has seen all these things and I have written them down. My [fellow apostles] and I know that what [I have written] is true.
25 εστιν δε και αλλα πολλα οσα εποιησεν ο ιησουσ ατινα εαν γραφηται καθ εν ουδε αυτον οιμαι τον κοσμον χωρησαι τα γραφομενα βιβλια αμην
Jesus did many other things. If they would [all] be written {If people would write them [all]} down [in detail], I suppose that the whole world would not have enough space [HYP] to contain the books that would be written {that they would write} [about what he did].
