1 A fter these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and he manifested himself on this wise.

After this, Jesus let Himself be seen and revealed again to the disciples, at the Sea of Tiberias. And He did it in this way:

2 T here was together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.

There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas, called the Twin, and Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, also the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples.

3 S imon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also come with thee. They went forth, and entered into the boat; and that night they took nothing.

Simon Peter said to them, I am going fishing! They said to him, And we are coming with you! So they went out and got into the boat, and throughout that night they caught nothing.

4 B ut when day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach: yet the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

Morning was already breaking when Jesus came to the beach and stood there. However, the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

5 J esus therefore saith unto them, Children, have ye aught to eat? They answered him, No.

So Jesus said to them, Boys (children), you do not have any meat (fish), do you? They answered Him, No!

6 A nd he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

And He said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find. So they cast the net, and now they were not able to haul it in for such a big catch (mass, quantity) of fish.

7 T hat disciple therefore whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his coat about him (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea.

Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, It is the Lord! Simon Peter, hearing him say that it was the Lord, put (girded) on his upper garment (his fisherman’s coat, his outer tunic)—for he was stripped —and sprang into the sea.

8 B ut the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits off), dragging the net full of fishes.

And the other disciples came in the small boat, for they were not far from shore, only some hundred yards away, dragging the net full of fish.

9 S o when they got out upon the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

When they got out on land (the beach), they saw a fire of coals there and fish lying on it, and bread.

10 J esus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now taken.

Jesus said to them, Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.

11 S imon Peter therefore went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, the net was not rent.

So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net to land, full of large fish, 153 of them; and there were so many of them, the net was not torn.

12 J esus saith unto them, Come and break your fast. And none of the disciples durst inquire of him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

Jesus said to them, Come have breakfast. But none of the disciples ventured or dared to ask Him, Who are You? because they knew that it was the Lord.

13 J esus cometh, and taketh the bread, and giveth them, and the fish likewise.

Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so also the fish.

14 T his is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

This was now the third time that Jesus revealed Himself (appeared, was manifest) to the disciples after He had risen from the dead.

15 S o when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

When they had eaten, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, 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 H e saith to him again a second time, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Tend my sheep.

Again He said to him the second time, Simon, son of John, do you love Me ? He said to Him, Yes, Lord, You know that I love You. He said to him, Shepherd (tend) My sheep.

17 H e saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

He said to him the third time, Simon, son of John, do you love Me ? Peter was grieved (was saddened and hurt) that He should ask him the third time, Do you love Me? And he said to Him, Lord, You know everything; You know that I love You. Jesus said to him, Feed My sheep.

18 V erily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.

I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, when you were young you girded yourself and you walked about wherever you pleased to go. But when you grow old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will put a girdle around you and carry you where you do not wish to go.

19 N ow this he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.

He said this to indicate by what kind of death Peter would glorify God. And after this, He said to him, Follow Me!

20 P eter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; who also leaned back on his breast at the supper, and said, Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee?

But Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved, following—the one who also had leaned back on His breast at the supper and had said, Lord, who is it that is going to betray You?

21 P eter therefore seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?

When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, Lord, what about this man?

22 J esus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.

Jesus said to him, If I want him to stay (survive, live) until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!

23 T his saying therefore went forth among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, that he should not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?

So word went out among the brethren that this disciple was not going to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not going to die, but, If I want him to stay (survive, live) till I come, what is that to you?

24 T his is the disciple that beareth witness of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his witness is true.

It is this same disciple who is bearing witness to these things and who has recorded (written) them; and we know that his testimony is true.

25 A nd there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that should be written.

And there are also many other things which Jesus did. If they should be all recorded one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain (have room for) the books that would be written.
