< John 21 >

1 After these things, Jesus manifested himself again, unto the disciples, by the sea of Tiberias; and manifested himself, thus: —
After these things, Yeshua revealed himself again to the talmidim at Lake Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.
2 There were together, Simon Peter, and Thomas, who was called Didymus, and Nathanael, who was from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and, two other, of his disciples.
Shim'on Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galil, and the sons of Zavdai, and two others of his talmidim were together.
3 Simon Peter saith unto them—I go a fishing! They say unto him—We also, go with thee! They went out, and got up into the boat, and during that night, they caught nothing.
Shim'on Peter said to them, "I'm going fishing." They told him, "We are also coming with you." They went out, and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing.
4 But, morning by this time drawing on, Jesus stood upon the beach; nevertheless, the disciples knew not that it was, Jesus.
But when day had already come, Yeshua stood on the beach, yet the talmidim did not know that it was Yeshua.
5 Jesus, therefore, saith unto them—Children! perhaps ye have nothing to eat? They answered him—No.
Yeshua therefore said to them, "Children, have you anything to eat?" They answered him, "No."
6 And, he, said unto them—Cast the net, on the right side of the boat, —and ye shall find. They cast, therefore; and, no longer, were they able, to draw, it, for the multitude of the fishes.
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.
7 That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus loved, saith unto Peter—It is, the Lord! Simon Peter, therefore, hearing that it was the Lord, girded about him, his upper garment, —for he was naked; and cast himself into the sea;
That talmid therefore whom Yeshua loved said to Peter, "It's the Lord." So when Shim'on Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the lake.
8 but, the other disciples, came, by the little boat, —for they were not farther from the land than about two hundred cubits off, —dragging the net of fishes.
But the other talmidim 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 So, when they got out upon the land, they behold a coal fire lying, and fish lying over, and bread.
So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish placed on it, and bread.
10 Jesus saith unto them—Bring of the fish which ye caught just now.
Yeshua said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have just caught."
11 Simon Peter, therefore, went on board, and drew the net on to the land, —full of large fishes, a hundred and fifty-three; and, though they were so many, the net was not rent.
Shim'on Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fish, one hundred fifty-three; and even though there were so many, the net was not torn.
12 Jesus saith unto them—Come! break your fast. Not one, of the disciples was venturing to ask him, Who art, thou? knowing that it was, the Lord.
Yeshua said to them, "Come and eat breakfast." None of the talmidim dared inquire of him, "Who are you?" knowing that it was the Lord.
13 Jesus cometh, and taketh the bread, and giveth unto them; and the fish, in like manner.
Then Yeshua came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.
14 This, already, is the third time Jesus was manifested unto the disciples, after he was raised from among the dead.
This is now the third time that Yeshua was revealed to his talmidim, after he had risen from the dead.
15 When, therefore, they had broken their fast, Jesus saith unto Simon Peter—Simon, son of John! lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him—Yea, Lord! thou, knowest that I am fond of thee, he saith unto him—Be feeding my lambs.
So when they had eaten their breakfast, Yeshua said to Shim'on Peter, "Shim'on, 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 He saith unto him, again, the second time—Simon, son of John! lovest thou me? He saith unto him—Yea, Lord! thou, knowest that I am fond of thee. He saith unto him—Be shepherding my sheep.
He said to him again a second time, "Shim'on, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."
17 He saith unto him, the third time—Simon, son of John! art thou fond of me? Peter was grieved, that he said unto him, the third time, Art thou fond of me? and he said unto him—Lord! all things, thou, knowest: thou perceivest that I am fond of thee. Jesus saith unto him—Be feeding my sheep.
He said to him the third time, "Shim'on, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you." Yeshua said to him, "Feed my sheep.
18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee—When thou wast younger, thou usedst to gird thyself, and to walk whither thou didst choose; but, when thou shalt become aged, thou shalt stretch out thy hands, and, another, shall gird thee, and bear thee, whither thou dost not choose.
Truly 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 do not want to go."
19 Now, this, he said, signifying, by what manner of death, he should glorify God. And, having said this, he saith unto him—Be following me.
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."
20 Peter, turning about, beholdeth the disciple whom Jesus loved, following, —who also reclined during the supper upon his breast, and said—Lord, who is it that is delivering thee up?
Then Peter, turning around, saw a talmid following. This was the talmid whom Yeshua sincerely loved, the one who had also leaned on Yeshua's chest at the evening meal and asked, "Lord, who is going to betray You?"
21 Peter, therefore, seeing, this one, saith unto Jesus—Lord! and, this one, what?
Peter seeing him, said to Yeshua, "Lord, what about this man?"
22 Jesus saith unto him—If I will that, he, remain until I come, what is that to thee? Thou, be following me.
Yeshua said to him, "If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me."
23 This word, therefore, went forth unto the brethren, that, that disciple, should not die. Howbeit, Jesus did not tell him, he should not die; but, If I will that, he, remain until I come, what is that to thee?
This saying therefore went out among the brothers, that this talmid would not die. Yet Yeshua did not say to him that he would not die, but, "If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?"
24 This, is the disciple who beareth witness concerning these things, and who hath written these things; and we know that, true, is, his witness.
This is the talmid who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.
25 Now there are many other things also, which Jesus did, which, indeed, if they were to be written one by one, not even the world, itself, I suppose, would contain, the books which must be written.
There are also many other things which Yeshua did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself would not have room for the books that would be written.
