John 21
1 After these things, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself this way.
ⲁ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲁⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϩⲓϫⲛ ⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲛⲧⲓⲃⲉⲣⲓⲁⲥ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ
2 Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.
ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲓ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲡⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲑⲱⲙⲁⲥ ⲡⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲇⲓⲇⲩⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲑⲁⲛⲁⲏⲗ ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲕⲁⲛⲁ ⲛⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲍⲉⲃⲉⲇⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲕⲉⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ
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.
ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϭⲉⲡ ⲧⲃⲧ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲛⲛⲏⲩ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲕ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲁⲗⲉ ⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲟⲩϭⲉⲡ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ
4 But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus.
ⲇ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϩⲧⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲓⲥ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ϩⲓ ⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲓⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲉ
5 Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.”
ⲉ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲓϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲙⲏ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲃⲧ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ
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.
ⲋ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛϣⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲟⲩⲛⲁⲙ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛϣⲡ ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲉⲥ ⲙⲡⲛϭⲉⲡ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲉⲕⲣⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲛⲛⲁⲛⲟϫϥ ⲁⲩⲛⲟϫϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲉϣ ϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲥⲟⲕϥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲁϣⲏ ⲛⲧⲃⲧ
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.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϭⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ϭⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲣϥ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲡⲉⲛⲇⲩⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲉϥⲕⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲕⲁϩⲏⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϥⲟϭϥ ⲉⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ
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.
ⲏ̅ⲛⲕⲉⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ϩⲓ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓ ⲛⲉⲩⲟⲩⲏⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲁϣⲏⲧ ⲙⲙⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲕ ⲙⲡⲉϣⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲧⲃⲧ
9 So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish and bread laid on it.
ⲑ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩϣⲁϩ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲧⲃⲧ ϩⲓϫⲱϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲩⲟⲓⲕ ⲉϥⲕⲏ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ
10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲧⲃⲧ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϭⲟⲡⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ
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.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁϥⲁⲗⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲥⲱⲕ ⲙⲡⲉ ϣⲛⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ ⲉϥⲙⲉϩ ⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲧⲃⲧ ⲉⲩⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛϣⲉ ⲧⲁⲓⲟⲩ ϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲓⲁϣⲏ ⲛⲧⲃⲧ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲉϣⲛⲉ ⲡⲱϩ
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.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲏⲉⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲙⲡⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲧⲟⲗⲙⲁ ⲉϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲉ
13 Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ⲁϥϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲟⲓⲕ ⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲃⲧ
14 This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to his disciples after he had risen from the dead.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲉϩ ϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ
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.”
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲕⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ϯⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲁϩⲓⲓⲃ
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.”
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲙⲉϩ ⲥⲉⲡ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲕⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ϯⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ
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.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲙⲉϩ ϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ϫⲉ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲕⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲁϥⲗⲩⲡⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲙⲉϩ ϣⲙⲛⲧ ⲥⲱⲱⲡ ϫⲉ ⲕⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲕⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲕⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ϯⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ
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.”
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲟⲓϣ ⲉⲛⲉⲕⲟ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲛⲉϣⲁⲕⲙⲟⲣⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲅⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲕⲟⲩⲁϣϥ ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲕϣⲁⲛⲣ ϩⲗⲗⲟ ⲕⲛⲁⲡⲣϣ ⲛⲉⲕϭⲓϫ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲉⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲟⲣⲕ ⲛϥϫⲓⲧⲕ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲅⲟⲩⲁϣϥ ⲁⲛ
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.”
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲥⲏⲙⲁⲛⲉ ϫⲉ ϩⲛ ⲁϣ ⲙⲙⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲛⲁϯ ⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁϩⲕ ⲛⲥⲱⲉⲓ
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?”
ⲕ̅ⲁϥⲕⲧⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲏϩ ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲛⲟϫϥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲇⲉⲓⲡⲛⲟⲛ ⲉϫⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲉⲥⲧϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲓⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲓⲇⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟⲕ
21 Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲛⲉ
22 Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϭⲱ ϣⲁⲛϯⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲁϩⲕ ⲛⲥⲱⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ
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?”
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲡⲉⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ϭⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛϥⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲓϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϭⲱ ϣⲁⲛϯⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ
24 This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.

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.
