< John 21 >

1 After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.
tataH paraM tibiriyAjaladhEstaTE yIzuH punarapi ziSyEbhyO darzanaM dattavAn darzanasyAkhyAnamidam|
2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.

3 Simon Peter said to them, “I’m going fishing.” They told him, “We are also coming with you.” They immediately went out and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.
tatastE vyAharan tarhi vayamapi tvayA sArddhaM yAmaH tadA tE bahirgatAH santaH kSipraM nAvam ArOhan kintu tasyAM rajanyAm Ekamapi na prApnuvan|
4 But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus.
prabhAtE sati yIzustaTE sthitavAn kintu sa yIzuriti ziSyA jnjAtuM nAzaknuvan|
5 Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.”
tadA yIzurapRcchat, hE vatsA sannidhau kinjcit khAdyadravyam AstE? tE'vadan kimapi nAsti|
6 He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” They cast it therefore, and now they weren’t able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.
tadA sO'vadat naukAyA dakSiNapArzvE jAlaM nikSipata tatO lapsyadhvE, tasmAt tai rnikSiptE jAlE matsyA EtAvantO'patan yEna tE jAlamAkRSya nOttOlayituM zaktAH|
7 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around himself (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.
tasmAd yIzOH priyatamaziSyaH pitarAyAkathayat ESa prabhu rbhavEt, ESa prabhuriti vAcaM zrutvaiva zimOn nagnatAhEtO rmatsyadhAriNa uttarIyavastraM paridhAya hradaM pratyudalamphayat|
8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish.
aparE ziSyA matsyaiH sArddhaM jAlam AkarSantaH kSudranaukAM vAhayitvA kUlamAnayan tE kUlAd atidUrE nAsan dvizatahastEbhyO dUra Asan ityanumIyatE|
9 So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish and bread laid on it.
tIraM prAptaistaistatra prajvalitAgnistadupari matsyAH pUpAzca dRSTAH|
10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”
tatO yIzurakathayad yAn matsyAn adharata tESAM katipayAn Anayata|
11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of one hundred fifty-three great fish. Even though there were so many, the net wasn’t torn.

12 Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast!” None of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Lord.
anantaraM yIzustAn avAdIt yUyamAgatya bhuMgdhvaM; tadA saEva prabhuriti jnjAtatvAt tvaM kaH? iti praSTuM ziSyANAM kasyApi pragalbhatA nAbhavat|
13 Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.

14 This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples after he had risen from the dead.
itthaM zmazAnAdutthAnAt paraM yIzuH ziSyEbhyastRtIyavAraM darzanaM dattavAn|
15 So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
bhOjanE samAptE sati yIzuH zimOnpitaraM pRSTavAn, hE yUnasaH putra zimOn tvaM kim EtEbhyOdhikaM mayi prIyasE? tataH sa uditavAn satyaM prabhO tvayi prIyE'haM tad bhavAn jAnAti; tadA yIzurakathayat tarhi mama mESazAvakagaNaM pAlaya|
16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.”
tataH sa dvitIyavAraM pRSTavAn hE yUnasaH putra zimOn tvaM kiM mayi prIyasE? tataH sa uktavAn satyaM prabhO tvayi prIyE'haM tad bhavAn jAnAti; tadA yIzurakathayata tarhi mama mESagaNaM pAlaya|
17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?” Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, “Do you have affection for me?” He said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.

18 Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you don’t want to go.”
ahaM tubhyaM yathArthaM kathayAmi yauvanakAlE svayaM baddhakaTi ryatrEcchA tatra yAtavAn kintvitaH paraM vRddhE vayasi hastaM vistArayiSyasi, anyajanastvAM baddhvA yatra gantuM tavEcchA na bhavati tvAM dhRtvA tatra nESyati|
19 Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”
phalataH kIdRzEna maraNEna sa Izvarasya mahimAnaM prakAzayiSyati tad bOdhayituM sa iti vAkyaM prOktavAn| ityuktE sati sa tamavOcat mama pazcAd Agaccha|
20 Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’ chest at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”
yO janO rAtrikAlE yIzO rvakSO'valambya, hE prabhO kO bhavantaM parakarESu samarpayiSyatIti vAkyaM pRSTavAn, taM yIzOH priyatamaziSyaM pazcAd AgacchantaM
21 Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”
pitarO mukhaM parAvarttya vilOkya yIzuM pRSTavAn, hE prabhO Etasya mAnavasya kIdRzI gati rbhaviSyati?
22 Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”
sa pratyavadat, mama punarAgamanaparyyantaM yadi taM sthApayitum icchAmi tatra tava kiM? tvaM mama pazcAd Agaccha|
23 This saying therefore went out among the brothers that this disciple wouldn’t die. Yet Jesus didn’t say to him that he wouldn’t die, but, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?”
tasmAt sa ziSyO na mariSyatIti bhrAtRgaNamadhyE kiMvadantI jAtA kintu sa na mariSyatIti vAkyaM yIzu rnAvadat kEvalaM mama punarAgamanaparyyantaM yadi taM sthApayitum icchAmi tatra tava kiM? iti vAkyam uktavAn|
24 This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.
yO jana EtAni sarvvANi likhitavAn atra sAkSyanjca dattavAn saEva sa ziSyaH, tasya sAkSyaM pramANamiti vayaM jAnImaH|
25 There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written.
