1 A fter these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. And he manifested thus.

After these things Jesus manifested Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and He manifested Himself in this way.

2 T here were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael who was of Cana of Galilee, and the of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.

Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.

3 S imon Peter says to them, I go to fish. They say to him, We also come with thee. They went forth, and went on board, and that night took nothing.

Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will also come with you.” They went out and got into the boat; and that night they caught nothing.

4 A nd early morn already breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; the disciples however did not know that it was Jesus.

But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

5 J esus therefore says to them, Children, have ye anything to eat? They answered him, No.

So Jesus said to them, “Children, you do not have any fish, do you?” They answered Him, “No.”

6 A nd he said to them, Cast the net at the right side of the ship and ye will find. They cast therefore, and they could no longer draw it, from the multitude of fishes.

And He said to them, “ Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat and you will find a catch.” So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish.

7 T hat disciple therefore whom Jesus loved says to Peter, It is the Lord. Simon Peter therefore, having heard that it was the Lord, girded his overcoat (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea;

Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer garment on (for he was stripped for work ), and threw himself into the sea.

8 a nd the other disciples came in the small boat, for they were not far from the land, but somewhere about two hundred cubits, dragging the net of fishes.

But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about one hundred yards away, dragging the net full of fish.

9 W hen therefore they went out on the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.

So when they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal fire already laid and fish placed on it, and bread.

10 J esus says to them, Bring of the fishes which ye have now taken.

Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have now caught.”

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

Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus Provides

12 J esus says to them, Come dine. But none of the disciples dared inquire of him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples ventured to question Him, “Who are You?” knowing that it was the Lord.

13 J esus comes and takes the bread and gives it to them, and the fish in like manner.

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

14 T his is already the third time that Jesus had been manifested to the disciples, being risen from among dead.

This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead. The Love Motivation

15 W hen therefore they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon, of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He says to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. He says to him, Feed my lambs.

So when they had finished breakfast, 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, “Tend My lambs.”

16 H e says to him again a second time, Simon, of Jonas, lovest thou me? He says to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. He says to him, Shepherd my sheep.

He said to him again a 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 My sheep.”

17 H e says to him the third time, Simon, of Jonas, art thou attached to me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Art thou attached to me? and said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I am attached to thee. Jesus says to him, Feed my sheep.

He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” Jesus said to him, “ Tend My sheep. Our Times Are in His Hand

18 V erily, verily, I say to thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst where thou desiredst; but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and bring thee where thou dost not desire.

Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go.”

19 B ut he said this signifying by what death he should glorify God. And having said this, he says to him, Follow me.

Now this He said, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, “ Follow Me!”

20 P eter, turning round, sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also leaned at supper on his breast, and said, Lord, who is it that delivers thee up?

Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had leaned back on His bosom at the supper and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays You?”

21 P eter, seeing him, says to Jesus, Lord, and what this ?

So Peter seeing him said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?”

22 J esus says to him, If I will that he abide until I come, what to thee? Follow thou me.

Jesus said to him, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!”

23 T his word therefore went out among the brethren, That disciple does not die. And Jesus did not say to him, He does not die; but, If I will that he abide until I come, what to thee?

Therefore this saying went out among the brethren that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?”

24 T his is the disciple who bears witness concerning these things, and who has written these things; and we know that his witness is true.

This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

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

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written.
