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, Jesus showed himself again to his disciples, at the sea of Tiberias: and he showed himself thus:
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.
There were together, Simon Cephas, and Thomas called the Twin, and Nathaniel who was of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of the disciples.
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.
Simon Cephas said to them: I will go and catch fishes. They said to him: We will go with thee. And they went, and embarked in a ship: and 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.
And when it was morning, Jesus stood on the shore of the sea: and the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
5 Jesus, therefore, saith unto them—Children! perhaps ye have nothing to eat? They answered him—No.
And Jesus said to them: Lads, have ye any thing to eat? They say to 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 your net on the right side of the ship, and ye will find them. And they cast; and they could not draw up the net, because of the multitude of fishes it contained.
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;
And that disciple whom Jesus loved, said to Cephas That is our Lord. And Simon, when he heard that it was our Lord, took his tunic, and girded his loins, (for he had been naked, ) and threw himself into the sea, to go to Jesus.
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 disciples came in the ship, (for they were not very far from the land, only about two hundred cubits, ) and they dragged the net with the fishes.
9 So, when they got out upon the land, they behold a coal fire lying, and fish lying over, and bread.
And when they came upon the land, they saw coals placed, and fish laid on them, and bread.
10 Jesus saith unto them—Bring of the fish which ye caught just now.
And Jesus said to them: Bring some of the fishes, which ye 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.
And Simon Cephas embarked, and drew the net to land, full of huge fishes, one hundred and fifty and three. And with all this weight, the net was not rent.
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.
And Jesus said to them: Come and dine. And no one of the disciples presumed to ask him, who he was; for they knew that it was our Lord.
13 Jesus cometh, and taketh the bread, and giveth unto them; and the fish, in like manner.
And Jesus came, and took bread and fishes, and gave to his disciples.
14 This, already, is the third time Jesus was manifested unto the disciples, after he was raised from among the dead.
This is the third time that Jesus appeared to his disciples when he had arisen 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.
And when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Cephas: Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me, more than these do? He said to him: Yes, my Lord: thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said to him: Feed my lambs for me.
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.
Again, he said to him the second time: Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He said to him: Yes, my Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said to him: Feed my sheep for me.
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.
Again, Jesus said to him the third time: Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? And it grieved Cephas, that he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me; and he said to him: My Lord, thou understandest all things, thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said to him: Feed my sheep for me.
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.
Verily, verily, I say to thee: When thou wast young, thou girdedst thy own loins, and walkedst whither it pleased thee: but when thou shalt be old, thou wilt extend thy hands, and another will gird thy loins for thee, and will conduct thee whither thou wouldst not.
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.
And this he said, to show by what death he was to glorify God. And having said these things, 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?
And Simon turned himself, and saw coming after him, that disciple whom Jesus loved, who fell on the breast of Jesus at the supper, and said, My Lord, who is it will betray thee?
21 Peter, therefore, seeing, this one, saith unto Jesus—Lord! and, this one, what?
Him Cephas saw, and said to Jesus: My Lord, as for this man, what?
22 Jesus saith unto him—If I will that, he, remain until I come, what is that to thee? Thou, be following me.
Jesus said to him: If I will, that he abide here until I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou 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?
And this saying went forth among the brethren, that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say, that he would not die; but, If I will that he abide here until I come, what is that to thee.
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 disciple who hath testified of all these things, and hath written them: and we know, that his testimony 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.
And there are also many other things, which Jesus did; which, if written out with particularity, the world itself, as I suppose, would not suffice for the books that would be written. Completion of the Holy Gospel, the announcement of John the Evangelist; which he uttered, in Greek, at Ephesus.
