Iohannem 21
1 Postea manifestavit se iterum Iesus ad mare Tiberiadis. Manifestavit autem sic:
After these things Jesus, risen from the dead, revealed Himself to His disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and He did it like this:
2 Erant simul Simon Petrus, et Thomas, qui dicitur Didymus, et Nathanael, qui erat a Cana Galilaeae, et filii Zebedaei, et alii ex discipulis eius duo.
Simon Peter, Thomas (called Twin), Nathanael (from Cana of Galilee), Zebedee's sons and two others of His disciples were together.
3 Dicit eis Simon Petrus: Vado piscari. Dicunt ei: Venimus et nos tecum. Et exierunt, et ascenderunt in navim: et illa nocte nihil prendiderunt.
Simon Peter says to them, “I'm going fishing.” They say to him, “We're coming with you.” Off they went and got right into the boat, and that whole night they caught nothing.
4 Mane autem facto stetit Iesus in littore: non tamen cognoverunt discipuli quia Iesus est.
Well when daybreak had now come Jesus stood on the beach; however the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
5 Dixit ergo eis Iesus: Pueri numquid pulmentarium habetis? Responderunt ei: Non.
Then Jesus says to them, “Boys, you don't have any food, do you?” They answered Him, “No.”
6 Dixit eis: Mittite in dexteram navigii rete: et invenietis. Miserunt ergo: et iam non valebant illud trahere prae multitudine piscium.
So He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find.” So they did, and now they were unable to haul it in because of the multitude of fish!
7 Dixit ergo discipulus ille, quem diligebat Iesus, Petro: Dominus est. Simon Petrus cum audisset quia Dominus est, tunica succinxit se (erat enim nudus) et misit se in mare.
Then that disciple whom Jesus loved says to Peter, “It's the Lord!” Upon hearing that it was the Lord, Simon Peter tied on his outer garment (for he was stripped) and plunged into the sea.
8 Alii autem discipuli navigio venerunt: (non enim longe erant a terra, sed quasi cubitis ducentis) trahentes rete piscium.
But the other disciples came in the little boat dragging the net with the fish (for they were not far from the land, but about 100 yards).
9 Ut ergo descenderunt in terram, viderunt prunas positas, et piscem superpositum, et panem.
Then, as they stepped onto the land they saw a charcoal fire in place with fish lying on it, and bread.
10 Dicit eis Iesus: Afferte de piscibus, quos prendidistis nunc.
Jesus says to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.”
11 Ascendit Simon Petrus, et traxit rete in terram, plenum magnis piscibus centum quinquaginta tribus. Et cum tanti essent, non est scissum rete.
Simon Peter got up and dragged the net onto the land, full of one hundred and fifty-three large fish; and although being so many, the net was not torn.
12 Dicit eis Iesus: Venite, prandete. Et nemo audebat discumbentium interrogare eum: Tu quis es? scientes, quia Dominus est.
Jesus says to them, “Come have breakfast!” Well not one of the disciples dared to ask Him, “Who are you?”—knowing that it was the Lord.
13 Et venit Iesus, et accepit panem, et dabat eis, et piscem similiter.
Then Jesus comes and takes the bread and gives it to them, as also the fish.
14 Hoc iam tertio manifestatus est Iesus discipulis suis cum resurrexisset a mortuis.
This was already a third time that Jesus appeared to His disciples after He was raised from among the dead.
15 Cum ergo prandissent, dicit Simoni Petro Iesus: Simon Ioannis diligis me plus his? Dicit ei: Etiam Domine, tu scis quia amo te. Dicit ei: Pasce agnos meos.
So, when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus says to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I'm fond of you.” He says to him, “Feed my lambs.”
16 Dicit ei iterum: Simon Ioannis, diligis me? Ait illi: Etiam Domine, tu scis quia amo te. Dicit ei iterum: Pasce agnos meos.
He says to him again, a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I'm fond of you.” He says to him, “Shepherd my sheep.”
17 Dicit ei tertio: Simon Ioannis, amas me? Contristatus est Petrus, quia dixit ei tertio, Amas me? et dixit ei: Domine tu omnia nosti: tu scis quia amo te. Dixit ei: Pasce oves meas.
The third time He says to him, “Simon, son of Jonah, are you fond of me?” Peter was grieved in that the third time He said to him, “Are you fond of me?” and said to Him: “Lord, you know all things. You know that I'm fond of you!” Jesus says to him: “Feed my sheep.
18 Amen, amen dico tibi: cum esses iunior cingebas te, et ambulabas ubi volebas: cum autem senueris, extendes manus tuas, et alius te cinget, et ducet quo tu non vis.
Most assuredly I say to you, when you were younger you used to get dressed and walk where you wished; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands and another will dress you and carry you where you do not wish.”
19 Hoc autem dixit significans qua morte clarificaturus esset Deum. Et cum hoc dixisset, dicit ei: Sequere me.
(He said this to indicate the kind of death by which he would glorify God.) And upon saying that He says to him, “Follow me!”
20 Conversus Petrus vidit illum discipulum, quem diligebat Iesus, sequentem, qui et recubuit in coena super pectus eius, et dixit: Domine quis est qui tradet te?
But turning around Peter sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following (that is the one who reclined on His chest at the supper and said, “Lord, who is the one who is betraying you?”).
21 Hunc ergo cum vidisset Petrus, dixit Iesu: Domine hic autem quid?
Seeing him, Peter says to Jesus, “Lord, what about him?”
22 Dixit ei Iesus: Sic eum volo manere donec veniam, quid ad te? tu me sequere.
Jesus says to him: “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”
23 Exiit ergo sermo iste inter fratres quia discipulus ille non moritur. Et non dixit ei Iesus: Non moritur. sed: Sic eum volo manere donec veniam, quid ad te?
So this saying spread among the brothers, that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him [Peter] that he [John] would not die, but, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?”
24 Hic est discipulus ille, qui testimonium perhibet de his, et scripsit haec: et scimus, quia verum est testimonium eius.
This is the disciple who is testifying to these things, and who wrote them; and we know that his testimony is true.
25 Sunt autem et alia multa, quae fecit Iesus: quae si scribantur per singula, nec ipsum arbitror mundum capere posse eos, qui scribendi sunt, libros.
Indeed, there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that not even the whole world could contain the books that would be written! Amen.
