1 A fter these things did Jesus manifest himself again to the disciples on the sea of Tiberias, and he did manifest himself thus:

After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.

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

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

3 S imon Peter saith to them, `I go away to fish;' they say to him, `We go -- we also -- with thee;' they went forth and entered into the boat immediately, and on that night they caught nothing.

Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

4 A nd morning being now come, Jesus stood at the shore, yet indeed the disciples did not know that it is Jesus;

But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

5 J esus, therefore, saith to them, `Lads, have ye any meat?'

Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.

6 t hey answered him, `No;' and he said to them, `Cast the net at the right side of the boat, and ye shall find;' they cast, therefore, and no longer were they able to draw it, from the multitude of the fishes.

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

7 T hat disciple, therefore, whom Jesus was loving saith to Peter, `The Lord it is!' Simon Peter, therefore, having heard that it is the Lord, did gird on the outer coat, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea;

Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.

8 a nd the other disciples came by the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but as it were about two hundred cubits off, dragging the net of the fishes;

And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.

9 w hen, therefore, they came to the land, they behold a fire of coals lying, and a fish lying on it, and bread.

As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

10 J esus saith to them, `Bring ye from the fishes that ye caught now;'

Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.

11 S imon Peter went up, and drew the net up on the land, full of great fishes, an hundred fifty and three, and though they were so many, the net was not rent.

Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.

12 J esus saith to them, `Come ye, dine;' and none of the disciples was venturing to inquire of him, `Who art thou?' knowing that it is the Lord;

Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

13 J esus, therefore, doth come and take the bread and give to them, and the fish in like manner;

Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.

14 t his now a third time Jesus was manifested to his disciples, having been raised from the dead.

This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

15 W hen, therefore, they dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, `Simon, of Jonas, dost thou love me more than these?' he saith to him, `Yes, Lord; thou hast known that I dearly love thee;' he saith to him, `Feed my lambs.'

So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, 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.

16 H e saith to him again, a second time, `Simon, of Jonas, dost thou love me?' he saith to him, `Yes, Lord; thou hast known that I dearly love thee;' he saith to him, `Tend my sheep.'

He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

17 H e saith to him the third time, `Simon, of Jonas, dost thou dearly love me?' Peter was grieved that he said to him the third time, `Dost thou dearly love me?' and he said to him, `Lord, thou hast known all things; thou dost know that I dearly love thee.' Jesus saith to him, `Feed my sheep;

He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, 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.

18 v erily, verily, I say to thee, When thou wast younger, thou wast girding thyself and wast walking whither thou didst will, but when thou mayest be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another will gird thee, and shall carry whither thou dost not will;'

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdest 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.

19 a nd this he said, signifying by what death he shall glorify God; and having said this, he saith to him, `Be following me.'

This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.

20 A nd Peter having turned about doth see the disciple whom Jesus was loving following, (who also reclined in the supper on his breast, and said, `Sir, who is he who is delivering thee up?')

Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?

21 P eter having seen this one, saith to Jesus, `Lord, and what of this one?'

Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?

22 J esus saith to him, `If him I will to remain till I come, what -- to thee? be thou following me.' This word, therefore, went forth to the brethren that that disciple doth not die,

Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.

23 y et Jesus did not say to him, that he doth not die, but, `If him I will to remain till I come, what -- to thee?'

Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?

24 t his is the disciple who is testifying concerning these things, and he wrote these things, and we have known that his testimony is true.

This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

25 A nd there are also many other things -- as many as Jesus did -- which, if they may be written one by one, not even the world itself I think to have place for the books written. Amen.

And 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 could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
