Iohannem 21
1 Postea manifestavit se iterum Iesus ad mare Tiberiadis. Manifestavit autem sic:
After this Jesus showed himself again to his disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. He showed himself as follows.
2 Erant simul Simon Petrus, et Thomas, qui dicitur Didymus, et Nathanael, qui erat a Cana Galilaeae, et filii Zebedaei, et alii ex discipulis eius duo.
There were together Simon Peter and Thomas, called "The Twin," and Nathanael, from Cana of Galilee, and the two sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.
3 Dicit eis Simon Petrus: Vado piscari. Dicunt ei: Venimus et nos tecum. Et exierunt, et ascenderunt in navim: et illa nocte nihil prendiderunt.
Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They answered him, "And we are going with you." So they went out and got into the boat, and throughout the night they caught nothing.
4 Mane autem facto stetit Iesus in littore: non tamen cognoverunt discipuli quia Iesus est.
But when day was dawning Jesus stood on the beach. The disciples, however, did not recognize that it was Jesus.
5 Dixit ergo eis Iesus: Pueri numquid pulmentarium habetis? Responderunt ei: Non.
So Jesus said to them, "Lads, you haven’t any fish, have you?" They answered him, "No."
6 Dixit eis: Mittite in dexteram navigii rete: et invenietis. Miserunt ergo: et iam non valebant illud trahere prae multitudine piscium.
And he said to them, "Cast your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find." So they cast it, and now they could not haul it in for the multitude of fishes.
7 Dixit ergo discipulus ille, quem diligebat Iesus, Petro: Dominus est. Simon Petrus cum audisset quia Dominus est, tunica succinxit se (erat enim nudus) et misit se in mare.
Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" On hearing that it was the Lord, Simon Peter girt his fisher’s coat about him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the water.
8 Alii autem discipuli navigio venerunt: (non enim longe erant a terra, sed quasi cubitis ducentis) trahentes rete piscium.
The rest of the disciples came in the boat, for they were not far from shore - only about a hundred yards - dragging in the net full of fish.
9 Ut ergo descenderunt in terram, viderunt prunas positas, et piscem superpositum, et panem.
When they got to the shore they beheld a charcoal fire ready laid, with fish on it, and some bread.
10 Dicit eis Iesus: Afferte de piscibus, quos prendidistis nunc.
"Bring some of the fish you have just caught," Jesus told them.
11 Ascendit Simon Petrus, et traxit rete in terram, plenum magnis piscibus centum quinquaginta tribus. Et cum tanti essent, non est scissum rete.
So Simon Peter went and dragged the net to shore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; but for all this number the net was not torn.
12 Dicit eis Iesus: Venite, prandete. Et nemo audebat discumbentium interrogare eum: Tu quis es? scientes, quia Dominus est.
"Come and have breakfast," said Jesus to them. Not one of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" Knowing that it was the Lord.
13 Et venit Iesus, et accepit panem, et dabat eis, et piscem similiter.
Jesus went and took bread and gave it to them, and the fish also.
14 Hoc iam tertio manifestatus est Iesus discipulis suis cum resurrexisset a mortuis.
This was the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples after he had risen from among the dead.
15 Cum ergo prandissent, dicit Simoni Petro Iesus: Simon Ioannis diligis me plus his? Dicit ei: Etiam Domine, tu scis quia amo te. Dicit ei: Pasce agnos meos.
When they were through breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?" "Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me." he answered. Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs."
16 Dicit ei iterum: Simon Ioannis, diligis me? Ait illi: Etiam Domine, tu scis quia amo te. Dicit ei iterum: Pasce agnos meos.
He said to him a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me." "Be a shepherd to my sheep," said Jesus.
17 Dicit ei tertio: Simon Ioannis, amas me? Contristatus est Petrus, quia dixit ei tertio, Amas me? et dixit ei: Domine tu omnia nosti: tu scis quia amo te. Dixit ei: Pasce oves meas.
The third time Jesus asked him, "Am I really dear to you?" Peter was grieved because the third time he asked, "Am I really dear to you?" and he answered, "Master, you know all things, you know that you are dear to me."
18 Amen, amen dico tibi: cum esses iunior cingebas te, et ambulabas ubi volebas: cum autem senueris, extendes manus tuas, et alius te cinget, et ducet quo tu non vis.
"Feed my sheep," said Jesus. "In solemn truth I tell you that when you were young, you used to put on your own girdle, and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old you will stretch out your hands for some one to gird you, and carry you where you do not wish to go."
19 Hoc autem dixit significans qua morte clarificaturus esset Deum. Et cum hoc dixisset, dicit ei: Sequere me.
This he said to show by what kind of death Peter was to glorify God. After speaking thus, he said to him, "Follow me."
20 Conversus Petrus vidit illum discipulum, quem diligebat Iesus, sequentem, qui et recubuit in coena super pectus eius, et dixit: Domine quis est qui tradet te?
Peter turned around and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following - he who at the supper leaned back upon his breast and said, "Lord, who is to betray you?"
21 Hunc ergo cum vidisset Petrus, dixit Iesu: Domine hic autem quid?
On catching sight of him, Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, what about him?"
22 Dixit ei Iesus: Sic eum volo manere donec veniam, quid ad te? tu me sequere.
"If I choose that he remain until I come," said Jesus, "what is that to you? Do you follow me."
23 Exiit ergo sermo iste inter fratres quia discipulus ille non moritur. Et non dixit ei Iesus: Non moritur. sed: Sic eum volo manere donec veniam, quid ad te?
Accordingly the report spread among the brothers that this disciple should not die; but Jesus did not say that he was not to die, but said, "If I choose that he remain until I come, what is that to you?"
24 Hic est discipulus ille, qui testimonium perhibet de his, et scripsit haec: et scimus, quia verum est testimonium eius.
It is this disciple who bears testimony to these facts and who recorded them; and we know that his testimony is true.
25 Sunt autem et alia multa, quae fecit Iesus: quae si scribantur per singula, nec ipsum arbitror mundum capere posse eos, qui scribendi sunt, libros.
But there are also many other things which Jesus did; if every one of them were to be recorded in detail I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would have to be written.
