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 this, Jesus again showed Himself to His followers at the lake of Tiberias. It happened like this:

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.

Simon Peter and Thomas who was called the Twin and Nathanael from the town of Cana in the country of Galilee and the sons of Zebedee and two other followers were all together.

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 said to them, “I am going fishing.” The others said, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into a boat. That night they caught no fish.

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

Early in the morning Jesus stood on the shore of the lake. The followers did not know it was Jesus.

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

Then Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They said, “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.

He said to them, “Put your net over the right side of the boat. Then you will catch some fish.” They put out the net. They were not able to pull it in because it was so full of fish.

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;

Then the follower whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Peter heard it was the Lord, he put on his fisherman’s coat. (He had taken it off.) Then he jumped into the water.

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;

The other followers came in the boat. They were pulling the net with the fish. They were not far from land, only a little way out.

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

When they came to land they saw fish and bread on a fire.

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

Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just 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 out and pulled the net to land. There were 153 big fish. The net was not broken even with so many.

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 said to them, “Come and eat.” Not one of the followers would ask, “Who are You?” They knew 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 came and took bread and fish and gave it to them.

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

This was the third time Jesus had shown Himself to His followers after He had risen from the dead. The Risen Christ Talks to Peter

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.'

When they were finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?” Peter answered Jesus, “Yes, Lord, You know that I love You.” Jesus said to 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.'

Jesus said to Peter the second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” He answered Jesus, “Yes, Lord, You know that I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Take care of 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;

Jesus said to Peter the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” Peter felt bad because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love Me?” He answered Jesus, “Lord, You know everything. You know I love You.” Jesus said to 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;'

For sure, I tell you, when you were young, you put on your belt and went wherever you wanted to go. When you get old, you will put out your hands and someone else will put on your belt and take you away where you do not want to go.”

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.'

He said this to tell Peter what kind of death he would die to honor God. After Jesus said this, He said to Peter, “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?')

Peter turned around. He saw the follower whom Jesus loved, following. This one had been beside Jesus at the supper. This is the one who had asked Jesus, “Lord, who will hand You over?”

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

Peter saw him and said to Jesus, “But Lord, what about this one?”

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 said, “If I want this one to wait until I come, what is that to you? You follow 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?'

So the news spread among the followers that this follower would not die. But Jesus did not say to him that he would not die. He said, “If I want him to wait until I come, what is that to you?” John Tells That He Wrote This Book

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 follower who is telling of these things and who has written them. We know that his word 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.

There are many other things which Jesus did also. If they were all written down, I do not think the world itself could hold the books that would be written.
